Well consider that no matter how handy not just anyone can afford a $500 Light item unless your economy is 'modern'  enough to support buying things on an installment plan.  Sure, maybe the average guy is paying more over time for the lamp oil (nice to know about the liter per day thing BTW) but that doesn't matter.  If he can't save up the 500 to buy the light item, he's stuck buying the alternative.
