Hi Claude

many thanks for your input, it is clear there is great interest

To put some things to rest - I hope.

As Claude says this will be an amazing fixture that you can keep for the life of your tank or longer, whatever.

Neither Claude or I know the exact cost yet as we still wait some important prices and have not chosen out of the Two German Ballasts manufacturers which one to use, we are still testing to make sure the chosen ballast warrants the use in this lamp.

Price will be competitive and I think you will be surprised when it is launched that everyone could be fearing the worst when the opposite applies, of course depending on your expectations.

If you want a Chinese made lamp or a lamp with chinese made parts, there are plenty out there, cheap reflectors, ballasts that state UL but are not (trust me I have imported them ) etc etc. But if you want a lamp that does what it says on the tin and will stand the test of time then hold onto your nickles and dimes just that bit longer

I would like this thread to be more about what the lamp offers than guessing what the price may be when we dont even know ourselves, so if we can leave the cost question for now and come back to it when we know, I am sure then there will be a camp that will say "whoa" and another that will say "yummy"

I really apreciate all of your very kind interest and we will do all we can to meet your expectations as always. PLEASE Keep the thread going
