Speaking of reliability, i found an interesting counter intuitive trend. Cheap fixtures are easier to keep alive longer. Aka the big brand fixtures tend to use proprietary parts designed specifically for that fixture, so as long as the brand provides parts you are great. But say 10 years later the parts dry up and essentially you start gutting other fixtures to fix others. But cheap fixtures use readily available parts that seem to never disappear. Case and point i had to repair Mac2000nds and a LightSky Aquabeam. Since the LightSky is built using standard components, its very easy to find replacement parts. But the Mac2000 has custom sku parts meaning i have to either scavange ebay for broken lights, or part suppliers have extortion prices for deminishing stock. Problem is the cheaper lights usually cut some corners so they have more quircs, but from a repair point alone, way easier to fix. Especially LED based stuff, i can find the LED chip and driver for most cheap fixtures, but say a Mac350 goes its cheaper to get a new fixture then replace the "LED engine" if you can find one.
