Gall's, which I mentioned in an earlier post, has both of
these mini light bars. The 2266H is the halogen version --
the 2266 has the standard #1195 bulb in it. I prefer the
halogen version because it is brighter.
The Force 4 LP doesn't appear to have a center reflector.
I have the Dyna-Lite. I like it fine.
Gall's offers the 2266H and the Force 4 LP for $99.99 each
plus $6.60 postage & handling. The 2266 Dyna-Lite is $89.99 +
p & h.
I am not affiliated with them except as a satisfied customer,
blah, blah.

If you're reasonably careful with how you install and remove
the bar, you won't have a scratching problem. I'm
ultra-conservative with the finish on my vehicle, and I don't
have any coating on the magnets of my unit.
* Opinion alert *
By the way, I *strongly* believe that the most bang for the buck
on a Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) and most other emergency
apparatus is the headlight high beam wig-wags. These are
reasonably easy to install on most vehicles. The commercial
units run about $30. I roll my own for about $8 in used relays.
Well worth it! I've had folks tell me that the first thing
they saw when I was approaching was the headlights wig-wag:
way before my halogen light bar or sealed beam red/blue
wig-wags.
I've had responders tell me that they flash their own headlights
manually -- with the stalk or foot switch. I drive a vehicle
with a manual transmission, a two-way radio, and a siren.
There's a lot going on in there when I'm responding to a call.
Especially when I'm approaching an intersection. Spend the
extra money and get a wig-wag unit, for safety's sake.
Besides that, anyone can flash their headlights, but only
emergency vehicles have wig-wags ;-).
