At $200 per light, I wouldn't be replacing the lights all that often. At $100 per light, I'd still think long and hard about the next big thing. At $25 per light, what the heck?
I am curious, have your prior battery lights not produced enough light for you? If they have, why do you feel the need to replace them? If they haven't, at what level will you be happy that they are producing enough, or are you always going to want to 'upgrade'?
