Following Missionaryman and Northern Lights work with Osram 64430 which currently the bulb is not available here is the US.

Enter the substitute Tungsram 5680 35w 6v. Assuming this bulb has same charateristics as the Osram it would yeild over 70w and over 2000tl driven to 9.6v

below shots are ceiling bounce in daylight room.
62625 with FM3H-2 3" reflector, 12.2V at the pins with 11 2/3A 1500Mah Elites.

5680 smo in standard M@g head, 3 A123's with 9.63V at the pins. Fits nicely in 4C M@g. or 3D M@g.

Which do you think is brighter?
