- pixl97 3y agoEh, it's not exactly that... its more of "Lets design a spec that anyone can use" Premium brand that uses spec is $30 dollars a light, but works... UNGADONG brand made in China is $10 dollars and has a 30% chance of catching on fire. Premium brand goes out of business and market is taken over by crap. --- Also, vendor lock in by the premium brand allows them to jack up prices even more.
