Well, it has so far.

On the other hand, LED lights may have slowed down a little in output over the last couple of years but before that, the market was changing rapidly. Paying $60 to $120 for a light that has half the output of next year's model for 2/3 the price can make one feel a bit foolish.

Paying $20 for a light that may not be built to last (but does anyway), is a lot less painful to replace when a newer, better light comes along.
