Does anyone have any information about the upgrading plan to upgrade a b800 to a b1600? i cant find any information on their site, and i'd like to upgrade if i could, rather than buy new all new lights.

What exactly were you looking for? $25 for depreciation and usage seems like a pretty good deal to me. That plus the difference in price between your model and the upgrade gets you a brand new light (or would they send you a refurb unit?). ...Leo

Since that is about all they need to do. There maybe one or two small something elses other then the case change out, but basically only the number of capaciters define the difference between models.
