Please help me understand - Why do people spend $35 K on a unit and turn around a complain about the cost associated with replacing the lamps in the same unit?

Example: 21 lamps unit - lamps cost $150 each - $3150 cost - Freight $10 - Total $3160

Charge $1.00 per min
Lamp life 800 hrs(manufacture) 600 hrs (36,000 min) (salon)

That is $36,000 off of an initial $3160 investment ( Okay you have other cost assoc with the lamps ) So let's say you only make $26,000. That's a pretty good profit.

That's a pretty good down payment on that X-5.
