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 did. Check out their YouTube video before we get into the the review!

The Nicoko brand is from a new company called Huacailijing INC. which was established in 2016 . I was a bit hesitant to purchase this light bar because their company was so new and the price of the product. 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 22 Inch 120 Watt Nicoko 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. The brackets that the light mounts to were pretty sturdy but I wasn’t too fond of all of the screws on the bar that secures to the brackets because it is a pain in the ass to deal with when you are trying to adjust the light. 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.
About the installation,i want to say it is very easy to install.It comes with all the components,such as Screw,basic brackets,wiring harness.It is very convenience for installing.All the wires were properly labeled for an easy connection which assisted in a quick install.
After you install the light bar,you can find it is difference from others.it has RGB halo ring and also can make color changing. Several colors can change in a few seconds,it makes your car more attractive.
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.
I hope this review helps out! If you purchased this light bar,
