    Sad to see that the price is still up there out of my reach. Getting better, but still not for me

    Yep thats it. Didnt know if there were rules about posting links like other sites. The Par numbers on that size fixture are leading the way on LED's from what I have seen so far. Wish I had a grand to drop on a couple of them.

    Dont know. The overall wattages are similar, but the wave point drives the LED's almost to their max. The other uses more led's driven half their max which may give a longer life cycle. Until Wavepoint releases these and someone does some par testing, its up in the air.
