Moore's laws for lights?

First we had Moore's laws for CPUs, where number of transistors increased exponentially, then it was hypothesized that it might also apply to razor blades ... but is it beginning to apply to bike lights?

Gentlemen, I present the TrustFire TR-D013 7-LED 3-Mode 3000lm Cool White Bike Light - Black + Silver (6 x 18650), because nothing exceeds like excess!

Ironically, with seven LEDs, it could be the first (Ultra|Trust|Whatever)Fire light that is capable of actually producing its claimed number of lumens, though with its relatively small battery pack (compared to the number of lights) if it can, it can't do it for long.

I'm also disappointed that it only has three modes. With seven LEDs (and not the little ones we've seen many of in the past), they should include some modes that have only one light on at a time, moving back and forth like KITT from Knight Rider or other patterns.
