for many of the same reasons that people buy iPhones

I would say more for the novelty of the fixture. Features such as it links to your pumps, so when the lightning storm comes on your vortechs ramp up. Something cool to show your friends once in a while. The RGB is also a nice feature that many LED fixtures dont have. Other than that...... Not sure. But its a sweet fixture.

same reason why nitemares are 40$/head on some sites while you can buy a frag of any common zoa for 10 or less lol its like it because people pay it, if no one paid the money they were asking for these lights they would be forced to lower the price or fail in the business.

i wonder what the real mark up is on these fixtures what it cost to make compared to what they retail for anyone have any ideas???

Man, why WOULDN'T you want all that stuff on your phone. I don't even have to think any more with Google in my pocket.

I got an iPhone 4... I know I could have got a better camera, chip or some other doodad in another.. but i had a iPhone 3G, treated it like crap, and it's the first phone I've owned that lasted the full contract. The thing was tough, and I used it for everything in the world... there's seriously an app for everything. My wife was in labour and timing contractions... writing them down... I was like, wait.. writing? what's that. So.. found an app for it, got to the hospital and the doctor asked about them, my wife had a chart to show him, lol.

And now, they're not even using the newest and best LED's.
