Yea I agree those lights are ridiculously overpriced. I understand some people want a strong warranty and like to be able to call the company if theres a problem but I'm fine with taking that risk to save a few hundred bucks.My local grow generation has a display in the store that has a Fluence Spydr, Gavita Pro 1700e and light from a company called ION LED all side by side. The ION LED is 100% an Alibaba light and very very similar to what I've got. Compared along side the Gavita and the Fluence, there really is not a noticeable difference in build quality. If anything the Gavita appeared to be the cheapest feeling one. I know thats not all there is to judge a light on but still. I didn't buy my light expecting it to last 10 years. I was banking on 2 years tops. By then I figured there would be some new tech I'd wanna try out. After one grow with my lights, I'm confident I made the right choice. There is no way the Gavita is worth over three times as much!
If I was going to spend that kind if money I think I would go with the Chilled Growcraft
