I've had my "chinese" 24" led bar on my explorer for a couple years. no issues aside from the black coating is starting to turn colors a little.

The big name brands like bully & rigid do use better quality components but you'll have to shell out 20x more than what you would for a cheapie. they will likely be brighter with better focused beams but if you like the wider flood pattern, the cheapies should do well enough.

the reflectors/lenses make a lot of difference too.

i've been quite happy with my $40 (now they're bout $30) ebay led bar. if it craps out on me, i can still afford another one to replace it & still have $300+ in my pocket ha!
