>Thanks for the info. 10 percent, that is an important bit of info. What prices have you found?

I don't know what the market is like over there but I will give you examples in English Pounds Sterling.

I've found quite a major difference in price depending where you go. With this being a new thing, I think people are not stocking many so they cannot offer good prices.

Prices here range between 2500 and 4000 pounds before tax. You can, however, get about 700 difference between suppliers and then I've also found a further 700 pounds off buying direct as a trader/consultant. Example: One here priced at 3800 retail I can buy direct for 2700 (plus taxes). Another is where one supplier offering Philips for 3300, another supplier offering same machine for 2600.

Prices of the bulbs (which, on average, last about 2000 hours) are about 300 pounds each.
