Design and manufacture a durable goods product for a tiny market (aquarium lights in this case) and sell that product at what you view NOW as a reasonable price... Let's see how long you stay in business without raising your price to "crazy" level. I dare you...Theres no magic thing in my mind that can actually justify the crazy prices some of this stuff in this hobby goes for.
Nobody is selling US made aquarium lights and island hopping weekends on their leer jet and yachts with the profits. Most vendors in this space are stuggling to keep the lights (pun, no pun) on with competition, price undercutting from foreign imports and the insane cost of tax, regulation, utility, legal, materials, etc.
