Pretty accurate statement there. But it's just not here, you find it in a lot of places these days, people feeling they need the "best of the best of the best" and those who don't, being mocked. I'm sure many would laugh at my $25 tractor floods for off-roading, but my feeling is that when off-road I'm generally traveling at tractor speeds plus things tend to get broken, and I'd rather replace a $25 light than a $200 light. I don't ever expect to see them in an "Off-road Lighting Shootout" article.
Yes, it happens more than just here. Such as certain websites where if it's not a 3-4" lift, or a bumper that can snap a medium sized oak tree, it's crap. But, it's funny you should mention the tractor light thing, since I had the EXACT same thought. I almost put a set of Hella AF 115 FF flood lights on the roof because it does seem to make more sense for the MAJORITY of people here are using the trucks for. But no, for some reason people want a bazillion candlepower so they can see terrain they won't reach for another 30 minutes.
