If
you are looking for an off-road light bar with color changing Function that is
economical and rocks a bright beam, Nicoko's flood spot combo light might be
the one for you.
I
didn’t hit my light bar with a hammer, dig into it with small power tools or
use a torch on it to test it’s durability but Nicoko's light did. Check out
their YouTube video before we get into the the review!

The
Nicoko brand is a new company are developed all kinds of RGB led
lights,headlights, which was established in 2013 . I was a bit hesitant to
purchase this light bar because their company was so new and the price of the
product is a little bit high. You know the old saying – You get what you pay
for! I researched their products and they seemed to have pretty decent
reviews. So I crossed my fingers and purchased the 300w52 Inch nicoko RGB Light Bar (click
for more information) from Amazon. When I received the package, it was
boxed up very securely. It also arrived sooner than expected which is always
welcomed.
Once I
busted through all of the bubble wrap, it was cool to see that nothing was
broken and all of the hardware and mounting brackets where there. Immediately,
I bench tested the light and to my surprise this bad boy was bright as hell. I
couldn’t wait to mount this bar to my truck and try it out on a trail!
I
installed the light bar on my front push bumper. The installation was pretty
simple. you only need to connect the connector to the wire harness , the
negative and positive wires from the wiring harness to the batterry.
REMINDER – Make sure the little screws on the front cover are tight. This
will help with keeping the light bar waterproof. The IP rating for these
lights are 67. IP stands for Ingress Protection. Basically that means
protection from items/water from entering the product.
Here is
how the IP scale works. The first number represents protection against solid
objects such as dust and debris. This number ranges from 0 to 6. The second
number is the level of protection against water and condensation. This number
ranges from 0 to 8. For off-road use, it is recommended that you find a light
bar that has at least a rating of 65 on the IP scale.
This
light bar package did come with a wiring harness kit as well.
TESTED
So far, I
am pretty happy with this light bar. I have gone night riding and the light is
exceptionally bright for the price. I have gone through some big mud puddles
and creek crossings and it has held up to being waterproof.
This is a
picture of me about 500 feet out on a trail. I had plenty of light ahead of me
to continue walking but I heard some coyotes near by trying to talk to me.
This
light bar does come with a 2 year warranty as long as you don’t open up the
case. This bar is a great starter light if you plan to upgrade to a more
expensive one later.

- Surprisingly bright
- Easy to install
MAJOR CONS
I don’t have a lot of cons about this light bar because so far I have had a great experience with it.
- Wiring harness kit is included. I was feeling their switch so be prepared to purchase another one.
- There are eight screws that must be loosened to adjust the light bar. This really isn’t that bad of a con, it is just irritating and time consuming when you are trying to aim it.
I hope this review helps out! If you purchased this light bar, leave a comment below about your experience with it!
