Why not take a break from your usual disagreeable self and make an effort to post something actually useful.
First I do cringe at the price of Lupine lights. I always buy and use multiple lights...usually 3 sometimes 4...so buying 3 lights that cost $1500 each would make anyone cringe. Spending over about $100 per light makes me cringe.

Second, the halogen lights I built cost about $100 per headlight and put out more light then you can get from LEDs until just recently.

Finally, if you are going to tell me to 'post something useful', why don't you follow your own advice. Posting "Heck, why don't you buy a dozen?" isn't all that helpful.
