These LED's just aren't cutting it. Or - are they?

I hear you. Yes, any product can have defects or problems. A Porsche can have problems just like a Kia. But don't expect the Kia to have the same performance, build quality or materials as the Porsche. So while it's not a 100% accurate rule, in general I do find you get what you pay for. A better, more expensive brand will generally be better in most cases than a cheap generic product. I'm sure we can can make a list of examples that aren't the case but I think in general it is true.

My point was just that a $200 generic LED fixture is highly unlikely to have the performance, build quality and durability of a high end fixture.
