Anyone else think a gold plated light is too much?

You have to pick the color options from the pull down
Thansk - yes - I found it. I did some calculations - I cant see at all how it could cost that much to gold plate a 57 inch canopy.

Seems there is one...
Grey is out if stock.
Plenty of black ones.
I must have too much time on my hands - I assumed that 57 inches x 4 x 16 would be the dimensions. So about 1496 sq inches - if you are covering just the top - gold plating supposedly (with the price of gold being 1695 on the site I used) being $.075/sq inch - would be about 1000$ for the gold plating I dont get the 35000 (by the way this was for 1 micron thickness - even at 4 times that - the cost would be $4000... Ah well...

Yea neither do I.
Since gold us a better thermal conductor than aluminum maybe its a gold heat sink.
A 2 # 14kt heat sink would cost about that much...roughly

Lol ill take it in black, seems like a nice light with the weather effects. I would love to have a 10 minute thunder storm over my tank. Do any lights do that with subtle sound and flashed of white light?

Believe only Current USA offers sound but I need to check.
Some controllers and systems have at least flashing lights.

I think if it was fairly priced they’d be scared someone would actually order it LOL
