6D mag - CTA D-cells....What to build next???

[jwl]

Okay, I have a 6D that I used to make a ROP and now I also have a KIU socket.

I've been wondering what bulb could I use with 6 NiMh D-cells (7.2V) that could/should be brighter than a ROP HI.

Is there such a bulb?

I was going to make a 4D, KIU socket, WA1183 light but now I eyeballing the 6D wondering what if............

i too am curious...i have a 6d and plan to slowly accumulate all the necessary parts to make a monster light.

I dont have any parts but I have wanted to make a 6 C Or D Light for ages.

The things that have put me off are risk of instaflashing lamps, and also a little unsure about high current drain lights, since I have seen the threads on exploding cells.

Is there an easy way to regulate these lights to take some of the risk out.

perhaps the 6V,35W westinghouse bipin bulb should do the thing....it's supposed to be brighter than the mag85.....i think
