Hello 02Scuba.
You have to look for the right diamater, becorse reflektor and Li-Ion cells and ballast.
The 50W you can use from 24 -50W dimm and or switchable.
65 minutes at 50W input at the bulb are 60W at all.
To be shure we take better 90W
7 cells in a raw and 2 parallel is more then...
I think pictures will help you to now what you need.
And here you can see what you can get.

24W HID is the minimum to make you happy.
Minimum 130mm Reflektor, with D2S or DL50 bulbs.
Small reflectors dont give you all the light out...
Thanks rufusdufus.
Someting i was found by clicking RAs avatar yestersay.
But his pictures are miles away only.
No picture what the lamp does in the short distances.
But this was also not his intention when i read it right.
I have no such a picture, not possible
Maybe 1km or 1 mile.
I dont...
For me this discussion in english is very difficult.
The half i can not say/write and the other half i dont understand.
Must use a dictionary.
And understand what i have read.
And i am happy the most things about light they have a logic behind.
But i mean in my case its better to make more...
Ok, Ra.
You are right.
CP is a definition.
In Germany we dont use CP.
Lux and lumen is better, yes.
And with millions or billions or trillions of candles i shoult better say real burning candles.
If we messure the CP i have no chance.
Not with a standart reflector and 4mm between the...
You must be wrong RA, see here, the technical datas from your and my bulb.
HBO 103 2 bulb specifications:
category: Medical/Scientific
watt: 100
i.lumens: 3100
cp: 250
d.hours: 300
DL 50W PHILIPS bulb specifications:
category: Specialty
watt: 50...
Why shoult a bulb with 3000 lumen only have more CP then with >5.400, 11.000 or 22.000 ?
My 50W standart lamp, not 100W and not 200W.
price, the parts: ~ 300$
running time: >4 hours
lumen: 5400-5600
weight: 2700 gramm
dimm, switchable: yes

A new projekt.
Wich one could be the new projekt ?
This is the lamp housing with reflectors.
Here you can see the lamphousing with 4 igniters in the rear, the quattro reflector and the quattro ballast.
Her you see the lamp burning.
You can see, the right upper bulb is not...
Oh, i forgot !
The "Doubble Bertha" is finish also.
Here the pictures:
Left 50W "BIG BERTHA" on the right 2x 50W the "DOUBLE BERTHA"
Both are shining in the sky, you can see the twoo beams on "Double Berta"
Different angles, different spots, different light output.
45° angle...
Dear Lips,
this is on the road for you.
And this is my new Projekt with 2 DL50, the fat one.
24/50/100W switchable.
+ a raw ultrabright LEDs for low light conditions.
+ a green laser dot.
Lamp as original no modifications.
Lamp open, I am working on.
Its a lot of work...
I wonder how this one compares to BB.
Dear Colin,
I dont now who is BB.
But if you see this picture anywhere its my lamp and my picture.
The lamp housing is chinese so anybody can use this housing and insert HID.
