Ok but iPhone is basically the same price as most phones out there. And the reason it may be more expensive than some phones isn't over something silly like a strobing led light.

Switching to these led lights would cost me 4400 dollars more than having halides. There is no way that lightning and 3 colors of LEDs could be worth that much to anyone

Reminding me that....

Not everyone wants to grow hardcore SPS in their tank. These lights and other LED's would do just fine for people who want to grow mushrooms and zoos in the bottom corners of their tanks instead. I dont want SPS in the bottom corner of my tank anyways... it doesnt grow in the sand

And another thing, these things seem like a Huge amount of money for something that isn't proven to work in the long term for growing corals. What if in a year these prove to be no good?

Lol, off contract, most of the other smartphones offered by telus (whos website I JUST looked at), are 100-200 dollars cheaper than Iphones, at minimum.


"Worth that much to anyone"... You cant say that there is no way.... there is... its called OPINIONs man. Yours is different than another guy... that IS the difference... those features ARE worth that much to some people.

Do you have any other hobbies that are uncommon? Do you wear extravagant clothing brands? Some people think thats nuts... others no. 'To each their own'...

If people didn't enjoy the 'personal value' of the radion features... the fixture would already be a flunk lol.

There are lots of tanks on RC (including SPS) that have been under LED for more than 5 years, I think some even 7, with AquaIllumination LEDs.

Which is exactly why having features like dimming are great. Thoes that want SPS can crank it up and for the LPS softy guys they can lower the out put.

Its all a matter of if you want the features or not. Do I think the lightning is cool, ya. Am I going to use it, no. Show a couple people a few times and that would be all the use of that feature would ever see.

The RGB, ya I think thats worth it to get a full spectrum look that other LED's dont have. Dimming for sunset/sun rise I personally think its worth it, for the fish and coral as well as my personal viewing.

I think the only reason people are buying this light is for the same reason some people buy a Rolex (on a smaller scale)
