I am sorry this will not get you the price faster, when the prices are ready they will be published.

ALL units will come with the same internal make up as one of the advanced syatems so it does have direct effect on the basic model also

I am sorry if the slight price release delay is not to your satisfaction. Nothing further can be added

I'm just trying to get clarification. By the wording of Claude's post it sounded like the delay was only related to fixtures with LEDs. I didn't see how that could effect the price release of the standard fixture. Again, I was just trying to get some clarification, but perhaps I'm missing something here.

Hi Canadian

We still work on the technical way to raise up the Output
if we make the 80 Watt dimmable lamps.
Give me some days and we can show you how we will solved the problem with the full dimmable T5 lamps in 80 Watts.
Some of the components are new and increases the light output and the
lifetime of the tubes of more then 15 % and more.

Update:

Not even a standard 6 lamp 24" fixture will be priced at less than $1000.

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.
