They go for so much because Ecotech either release a new fixture more expensive than the last, or they drop the RRP on the previous Gen a mere $100.

Gen 1 was a long time ago now, you might want to get a Gen 2 and upgrade it.

You're on a budget yes? If you don't want to pay $400 you wont be owning many LEDs.
