LUPINE Piko TL MiniMax / oh, budget light forum ":o)

They use a copper Board in the 2013 Version with 1200 lumens. You can buy an upgrade kit for old version. Show me another light where you can do this.

Basically any C8 can be upgraded, LED and Driver. For 10 EUR you have direct thermal path on copper (pretty much what tint you want) + driver, which results in 1000 lumens. The Lupine upgrade is 120 EUR (165 USD)

This sounds to me more and more like a case of perceived price/quality relationship run amok.
