i have mag 2D and a AW driver what could i run as a bulb and battery in this set up i have many diffrent 12v bulbs between 10watt and 100watts and a 6v 35 watt bulb, many thanks DocD
 
The AW operates direct drive on 100%, with PWM dimming options, and soft start.

This means that whatever bulb you decide to drive, you still have to come up with enough voltage drive the bulb from the battery pack.

The 2D platform has some options for super high powered (12V bulb ~100W) mods if you have it tri-bored and have a custom battery pack made from 2/3A NIMH high drain rate cells. The question is, what specific bulbs do you have? There are a wide range of 12V lamps out there, some run really nice around ~13-14V (high CCT low life medical/scientific/microscope lamps), some need ~20V ("long life" halogens) before they are even worth doing a build with.

Alternatively, the 6V 35W lamp might be drivable by a simple 6AA setup, but whether or not it will be good depends on what 6V 35W bulb you have. Some are rated 50-100hr life (those will be nice and bright), others are "long life" halogens, that will require more cells to drive well. (on 6 cells they aren't impressive).
