Note there are cheaper items also available, but the finish etc are self evident through photographs either on ebay or aliexpress.
    You are right.. But at the end, you get warranty and Brand..

    Cyclops is amazing also as per many members Turvo V16 looks same copy paste and similar output however i cannot comment as i have not seen it in person.
    you can try local market as many people said they got it for 1600 bucks. i assume at 1/3rd of the cost if it delivers 80%of what cyclops does then its a good deal.

    led makes about 100 lumens per watt.
    standard bulb makes about 20 lumens per watt.

    Sorry ust a bit curious.I just wanted to know how it dofferentiates itself(Cyclops) from the stock ones
