Also, show me a fixture that will put out the same par/lumens pew watt, light spread, computer program so you can dim, lightning storm, link to your pumps, RGB LED's, in a nice enclosure (not DIY), for 1/2 or 3x less. I would be interested in that fixture.

Man, why WOULDN'T you want all that stuff on your phone. I don't even have to think any more with Google in my pocket.

I got an iPhone 4... I know I could have got a better camera, chip or some other doodad in another.. but i had a iPhone 3G, treated it like crap, and it's the first phone I've owned that lasted the full contract. The thing was tough, and I used it for everything in the world... there's seriously an app for everything. My wife was in labour and timing contractions... writing them down... I was like, wait.. writing? what's that. So.. found an app for it, got to the hospital and the doctor asked about them, my wife had a chart to show him, lol.

On Rogers you can get the HTC EVO 3D, LG Optimus 3D, Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G or Xperia arc for $0.01. The iPhone4 is $99 and the 4S is $159. That's quite a difference, while all of those phones do the exact same thing. :biggrin:

Absolutly!! All of it is hype and unnessisary. MH works just fine with some supplement lighting for color. Same as a nomal phone and an I phone, they both make calls just the same. If you want the bells and whistles then you pay for them.

Anyone who wants a free iPhone 4 can pm me. On a 3 year contract tho.

The I phone/LED light combo....... Holy crap that's a great new product...someone start the hype!!....Head lights out on the car? put the wife on the hood and away you go!!!.....Stranded on a desert island with only your phone?? wait till night and signal a passing ship!!! And it makes coffee too!!!! only problem is a three pound phone is a little large

Hi guys!

With all new products there is normally an R&D recovery. Research/Developement/Engineering/Widget....bla bla bla New product=High Cost, until a bunch of people get out there and pay for the item.....then the price drops..... so do your job and lower those prices!!!

Hey the first plasma TV that came out years ago was $60K!! (the one I seen at that time)

reefwars 10-27-2011 07:52 PM

But the application of an iPhone and results it produces are worth the money. This fixture still only produces light and doesn't produce different results. Would be different if this fixture has the ability to measure tank perameters and warn you when something is wrong
