I ordered a Nilight 22 inch curved light bar on amazon.
It says 120 watt with LEDs, combo spot and flood.
Has anyone used this light bar and what was your experience with it.

I don't have a curved one, but I have a pair of straight I believe 18" ones on my pontoon boat. I can see VERY well at night with them. Lights up the world in front of me like daylight, not that there's much to see on the water.

Very bright!
4 modes. In this order of hitting the switch.
White fully on
White flashing
Amber fully on
Amber flashing
Well worth the $65. I paid.
It's the bright one mounted on the bumper in Amber mode. it's amber, not yellow.6ffa7fd5b33301b69cc62db978d27962.jpg

I've tried several of these light off Amazon. They work great for the price but just be aware they are half the rated output they claim. That 120w light is only drawing about 60w. They rate them based on the max the bulbs can be driven at but don't run them at full power. I've measured several of them and they are all the same.

At the end of the day it's pretty good for a $40 light though

Forgot to mention an important fact.
I seal every light with Phenoseal very thoroughly to prevent water from entering the housing. The rubber/plastic material gaskets rarely work.

Installed yesterday
It is a very bright light, but the spot lights in the center did not go as far as I expected. Still further then my high beams. My last tuck had 2 LED spot lights that only light up very far on the road with a very narrow beam, I was kind of expecting the same.
I like is that it completely lights the side and the road and ahead of you further then the high beams.
I wired up an old fashioned headlight floor dimer switch and power from the high beam only to a relay with a 30amp fuse. The lights will only come on when I put in the high beams.
Picture is with high beams only and with both the light bar and high beams, notice how the yellow road info signs way done the road are light up with the light bar on but not with just the high beams.
The high beams have slyvania Ultras for bulbs and looked white until the light bar was turned on.
Time will tell how they last.

That's a beautiful thing! They're bright as heck.
Here, In the hills of East Tennessee, we don't have any roads that go that far in a straight line, Lol. And every rd has a 2 or 3 foot deep drainage ditch so, no way I'm driving those with the pathetic Ram stock lights. In addition to my light bars (they both light up white for good weather and amber for rain & fog), My low beams are LED's and my highs are HID's. I have 2 white LED pods mounted on my headache rack on a 45 degree angle to light up the the ditches and anything lurking in the woods a.k.a. DEER! I have killed 4 already (before the lights went on) with this truck but that grille guard saved the sheet metal.
One more white LED bar on top of headache rack for the occasional party out back & loading the bed. All my lightbars have switches covered with a red safety that must go up first. Don't want to blind people by accident. Switches & all Interiors are all red 'cause red does not screw up your night vision.
No pics from inside truck but heres one from front.
Good job brother.
PS: I noticed today one of my small pods was half out due to moisture even after caulking with phenoseal clear silicone. It came in at the wiring hole. Wire pulled the seal away during my install I guess. Caulk em, you'll be glad you did.0729d6890d99d648b5b777e32adce58f.jpg1b4f3efe392a243e494ccb792d14ddd7.jpgcd09db148cca87c4594843b505b33b2b.jpgc3593e7c084d01914c026a45fd2b93b2.jpg181cb0607927f411e624f703dfaf837f.jpg
