Solaris LED "Light Bar"...

Hello,

So they cost a TON upfront but a couple years down the road, they are cheaper. Right?

The Solaris LED 72" is about $3,500.

The Outer Orbit 72" 250w model is about $1,200.
A chiller is potentially needed for the added heat $500-$1000
Annual bulb change (3-Halide and 8-PCs) is about $500.
I won't even estimate the running cost.

That is an initial investment of about $2,000 with an annual investment of about $500. In 3-4 years the Solaris paid for itself. Right?

So aside from the upfront cost, what is the drawback? Your thoughts?

Regards,
Jimmy T.
