Exactly sphelps, those brokeage and duty fees are @#$$%%^ ing ridiculous. I got taken by them before, not anymore. Yeah, Canadian stores that is. I know those LED fixtures are expensive but so the T5 HO are freaking electricity wasters big time. I know LEDs are more expensive but in the long run they pay for themselves many times over, well depending how well you take care of them.

build your own its way cheaper, you can get the LED's online or even from some electrical wholesalers, thats what I plan on doing.

Yeah good idea. are you doing that really? well I thought about it before but don't you have to have some electrical knowledge or something like that to be able to do it yourself? I would love to do it myself with the right coaching from someone that knows what he's doing...lol
