Easy to install and very bright
Takeaway: Easy to install, nice control module, sturdily made with heavier gauge wires, heavy duty magnets keep the unit in position and bright enough to hurt my eyes a bit at 20 feet during the day.Details:With any purchase, the tale of the tape is... "does it do what it's intended to do"? I'm a volunteer ambulance driver in the central Colorado mountains. I did quite a bit of research before deciding on the 23" Condor TIR Emergency 3 watt red/white mini LED light bar. After all... the money was coming out of my pocket and $180 isn't quite petty cash. While I can imagine that any decent light bar would be sufficient during the night, I was worried about racing to the fire station to grab the ambulance during the daytime. The very next day, after installing this unit, I received a call at 11:15 am on a nice sunny day. From the moment I hit the hwy until arriving at the station, averaging 75 mph, every car saw the lights in sufficient time to pull of the road and make way for me... and I wasn't using a siren. Enough said!The light unit itself seems to be very sturdily built and the wires are of heavy enough gauge such that I'm not worrying about breakage but not so heavy that I cannot run them along the door frame gasket to conceal them. My ONLY complaint is where the wire harness plug connects to the control module. The protecting sleeve over the wire harness stops about 3 inches short of the plug leaving the unit as a whole seem to be a bit unfinished. Additionally, the two wires (red/black) coming from the cigarette lighter adapter accidentally, but easily, pulled out of the control module plug necessitating me to have to take 20 minutes to figure out how to get the pins out of the plug so I can re-crimp the wires back on to them and then reinsert them back into the plug. Fortunately, the seller was very responsive in answering my question as to which wire went where in the plug.I am very pleased with this purchase10/03/19 Update.... I've owned the unit for about a year now and it's still performing very nicely. The one issue which came up and which I'm really disappointed in was the quality of the rubber covers which go over the magnetic feet. After only about 6 months of use I had to take the light off the car to store it while parking in the airports extended parking for a week. Upon removing the light, the rubber feet covers literally disintegrated. They obviously were not made to handle extended outdoor use and UV conditions. Insult to injury was the $25 quote for a set of 4 replacements.... for simple rubber magnet covers... and ones that really don't last that long to boot.... NOT

Great light bar
I got this light bar last week because I needed it for a public service event I was doing. I can't say enough about how great it worked. It was packed well and worked right out of the box. There were no instructions, but the seller will provide documents if you need them. The cigarette lighter cable plugs into the switch box and the switches are self-explanatory. Mine didn't have the second color function, but the other switches are power, flash pattern, left alley and right alley (or something like that). They all worked great. There are a number of flash patterns and I just cycled through them until I found one I liked.I think officially the magnets are rated at 50 MPH, while others have stated that they have used it at much higher speeds. The first thing that I loved with the magnets was the rubber(?) cover on them to prevent the car from getting scratched. I was replacing an older halogen light bar and it had a tendency to scratch the roof. This one didn't at all. The second was the strength of the magnet itself. As soon as I got close to the roof of my car, the magnets clamped down and didn't want to give way. I'm sure it would handle speeds greater than 50 MPH, but don't hold me to that.While on the event, I had the opportunity to stand back and see the impact of the lights. They are very bright, even on a sunny day, and are very visible from a distance. Several people commented on visible it made my vehicle. The alley lights (white) were an extra bonus that I didn't expect. I like those a lot, but I'm not sure if I'll ever practically use them for what I do. Still, nice feature.My only issue, and it has nothing to do with the bar really, is in how my vehicle was wired up. It wasn't exactly compatible with this particular light, but that isn't the light's fault. I have a switch box that provides power to a cigarette lighter plug that I used to use for my old light bar. I could use the switch box to turn the light on/off. With this new bar, it has electronic switching instead of mechanical. That means that even when I turn on power to the light, I still have to turn on the switch that came with the light. I'll need to find a way to rewire something to make it serve my particular purpose. But as I said, the light is still great and worth 5 stars!One note: The cable running to the light is a bit thicker than on the old halogen lights because of the extra wires needed. I didn't rain on me this weekend, but I wondered if the wider cable might cause it to leak where the door closes around it. I have not tested that yet. It was just something I took note of.

Very bright
Only been on truck for 2 weeks, but very happy with product. I have been near 70 MPH for hours, no issue with magnets, very strong. Only issue I Had was when routing the cable I could not mount the controller where it should be because the cable was not long enough for my routing. I went through the 3rd brake light, down back of cab, powered by supply in center console, then wanted to go up onto dash to mount, only 6 inches of cable left, Not going to happen. I may have to brake down and add wiring to get it where i need it, but for now it will stay where it is. Over all A great light! you'll be happy.

Thrives and company rude as hell
They charged me $51 to return their piece of cra p light that didn't work for even a month, the only reason I bought this light is because the 2nd feature was supposed to light up the entire bar white. Needless to say it doesn't, the 2nd color feature as described does not work in anyway rendering this light not worth the money, there's tones of bars half the price that are built the same and do the same. Don't waste your money.Messaged seller who replied rudely and in capitiols, I wouldn't ever give a company as ignorant as this a dime of my money and will be returning the product!

Not the greatest.
I believe mine has an issue with water going in it. After 2 months, one of the end caps would permanently stay on, no matter what button I pressed on the control module. I had to unplug it. The rest of it still works 2 years or so later . After a heavy rain storm a month ago, the whole bar lit up and wouldn't shut off. After it dried out it worked again but not the end cap, that one is still permanently on if I plug back in. Too glitch prone for my liking.

Good product for the price.
The media could not be loaded. Light works good except for there is no white light when you hit the button on the bar. Solid yellow tends to blow fuses when on for long periods of time. Power plug heated up on the end when used and blew fuses. After cutting plug off and wiring to toggle switch no issues. Other than a few minor details the bar works great.
