Oh Andrew you just could not keep things to email could you.
Yep thats CAD so do the USD conversion and it brings it to the same price as your loved ATI unit. Difference is then you dont get the LED shimmer lights, the highest German engineered ballasts and the active cooling etc etc that
YOU WILL get with the Fauna unit.
NO the price is not for everyone thats why there are other fixtures on the market to suit all expectations. If you want a cheap economy lamp there are loads on the market. If you want something that will last trouble free for years to come and provide your system with all it requires in lighting then we have something very interesting and competitive to offer.
Ok I will give you a direct comparison -
ATI fixture 6 tube 24w NO active cooling NO LED NO German ballasts (from what i have been told, but could be wrong) -
USD price $699
x 1.23 exchange rate
= $859 CAD
+ 7% import duty
= $919
+ $70 clearance fees
= $989
+ 5% GST
Total = $1,038CAD
Now the Geismann fixture
39w
8 tube working on same conversions above
CAD $1,937.00!!!
NOW THE FAUNA MARIN FIXTURE
24w 6 lamp independant OSRAM ballasts, active cooling, LED shimmer effect
Total CAD = Estimated +/- $1,000 but hopefully less
39w 8 tube fixture from fauna with all the above features that Geismann do not have
Estimated price $1800CAD!!!
based on spec and price I think you can see which one gives you the best bang for buck!!
Correct prices will be released next week once fauna have the new technology worked out. the prices will be in line with current market trends and not be above anything else on the market of the
same quality but will offer a heck of a lot more.
