I already had the bulbs, so I dropped $60 on the transformer, $5 for the two headlight harnesses, and another $20 for the bowls.

There are a lot of the full spectrum lights out there, but most are in the 1,500-5,000 lumen range. This light will outperform those for less money, but again, I already had the LEDs. This was also a bit of a project just to it, LOL. This way, I could design it to do what I needed for my specific situation. Thanks for the compliment, BTW!
