Pretty nice with an astonishing price tag unfortunately! Maybe in the future the price will drop, but till then sticking with my halides!
I know...the electric bill! hahaha-no, its not that bad

I hear good htings. I think if they are as good as talked up to be they are definitly worth it. I will wait so they are out for a while before I really think about them jsut to make sure they don't have any issues.

The price tag is huge and I think it will come down but probably not a lot. YOu have to think about the overall price tag when you look at them. There is a huge up front cost but they last for a very long tiem so you don't have to spend money on new bulbs and they use a lot, a a lot less electricity so you save each and every day on your electric bill.

I wish that somebody would do a analysis on the costs for a halid system and a LED system over a 1-5 year period...

not to mention they dont get hot so no need for Chiller so that my help offset the cost if you havent purchased a chiller yet.
