The 14-LED module is $85 (for upgrades to really old 8-LED or 5-LED Duos), so this set of upgrades is comparable in price. How old is your Duo, if it cost less than $77 it must be ancient. My first one cost over $100 and that one's 9 years old now. The exchange rate doesn't favor the dollar like it used to, so these foreign lights are expensive. $77 is still a lot less money than a new Stenlight or a Scurion...

I think I'll go for it, though I have never set up a PayPal account. How do you think it would compare with a Sten?

Lumen ratings range from 110 to 280 depending upon configuration. Prices range from 28 to 44 English pounds ($45 - 71), international shipping is free (for now). Payment is via PayPal. This may be an inexpensive way to upgrade your old Petzl Duo headlamp into something much brighter (and a lot sturdier and more waterproof) than many of the Princeton Tec headlamps currently available (such as the notoriously finicky Apex).
