BFL13, does Canadian Tire buy direct from source country of manufacture or from source middle men like Mexico does? Meaning USA importers? Inverter prices NOW not then would be a fair comparison. The hundred + dollar lamps are not superior to the non proprietary lamps.
There are a lot of companies buying a lot of stuff from a lot of distributors. I mentioned CREE LEDs because not only have prices risen but the selection has all but disappeared. Some USA stores have proprietary shapes and they cost $80 - $150 instead of the generic Chinese $20 - $25 and they all come from China.
Me hurt? No but there still are rural ranchos with minimum solar. They could afford twenty dollars for 2 or three 18 watt fixtures. But not twenty dollars each.
