Comparing two lights . .

BigAl07 · 05-03-2007, 10:56 PM

To me these two lights are identical in specs... yes a slight difference in the actual housing but they both seem identical other than a few dollars...

Current USA 20" 80w Dual Satellite Strip Light w/ Actinic, Daylight, Lunar

and

Current USA 20" 80w Orbit Strip Light w/ Actinic, Daylight, Lunar

Maybe I've just been online for tooooo many hours straight... could yall look at these and give me a hand..

While reviewing those two links I just realized that company is local... I mean REALLY local to me here.... how strange is that? I go looking on the World Wide Web and they are in my back yard

Still don't know what the "real" difference" between the two are though...

It looks like they only changed the style....

The satellite units are newer, less expensive unit. Double check with the vendor if you get the lunar LED lights with that cheaper unit though. From what I remember it is an option, and typically the ones with the LED lights cost more than what he is charging (usually around ~$170-$200).

Thanks for the additional eyes there. I just couldn't figure out WHY they had the same specs but different prices.

I'll check into it on Monday when they call me back.
