Default Looking for R30 Bulb for Track Lighting

We have track lighting in our living room. There are vaulted cielings in that room, so the six light fixtures are quite a ways away from the ground. My mom is a Creative Memories (scrapbooking company) consultant. She has workshops every now and then in our living room. When the ladies come over to do their scrapbooking, sometimes it is night, and there is minimal lighting, besides the fixtures.

It would be nice to have some 100W or so lights up in our track lighting system, but that is 600 watts for one room! My dad and I went to Home Depot today, and found some 60W equivalent, compact flourescent bulbs, but they weren't bright enough.

So here is my question; does anybody know of some flood PR30/R30 (Parabolic reflector/reflector I believe) compact flouescent light fixtures, that are 100W or so equivalents, that we can hopefully find locally? Thanks guys. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: Pic of these R30 guys I'm talking about...

Why use CF's for this? If they're used only occasionally, will they ever pay for themselves? Not to mention the fact that no CF, good as they are, has a CRI as high as an incandescent.

Where I live, electric energy is about $0.10/kW-hour, so you only pay about a penny per hour for each 100W bulb.
