livewire whips are nice, i had one on my long travel sandrail and they can take a beating, but they are kinda looking dated they have a big gap between there leds. i now have the quicklight whip and its like a "starwars light saber" fiber optic, and its badd azz!! expensive but the best whip made!! super tough design and it attaches like a airhose just slide back and push on thats it. utv crap carrys them.
I'll throw my $0.02 in for SafeGlo. 66 very, very bright LEDs and I've got 5 and have never broken a single one. Broken more than one quick disconnect mount base, but never the whip. I have a single blue one mounted at the center of the rear cage and you can read a map by it at night.
