How long do you expect to keep your $120 of lights? Will you replace them next year, or two years from now, as LED technology develops? I see my lights as a capital investment, but many people expect them to last like a one-time capital investment, then find they're more of an annual, bi- or tri-annual, expense instead.
I don't understand why lights would require regular updates. If they are good enough to see now, it ain't going to get darker a year from now.
