One thing I really like about them is that after the expected lifetime of the LEDs they'll still shine pretty bright... I can't remember what the % drop is but it was better than HIDs. So their long life is definitely something I keep forgetting to consider for the price...

50k+ hours... that's over 5.7 years of continuous use! and since a lot of lights like the Procyon are aimed more at flowering, they'd be on only 12 hours a day... so would that mean it'd last about 10 years???

Ok so then I suppose $500 or so would be great for that kind of a deal, and by the time you need to replace it it'll be outdated lol.

Thanks for making me rethink it
