Does anyone knows what is the value of the inductor in the Lambda Mini Pro light engine?

Inductors and capacitors can store energy. If you arrange the charging/discharging of these devices properly, you can increase (boost) or decrease (buck) the voltage.

You can also use Google to learn about DC/DC converters and the functions of the components.
