Here it is again incase you missed it

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!!!
