Best spotlight candidate for d2s bulb

[NightShift]

Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a cheap 12v spotlight that a D2S 35w HID bulb would perform well in?

Several people are likely to suggest a $25.00 Thor from Costco.

I've built a few myself.

If you're interested in doing the mod yourself it's not terribly difficult.
Properly spacing the bulb for focus can be tricky.
I machined an aluminum adaptor ring to solve the problem for my builds.

Markdi, looks like you beat me to the enter button.

well your response was much better any way

Heheh,

Yup, the Thor. Buy a spare for those just in case situations and toss in the back of the truck...

I couldn't find any on the costco website, but is it like this thor from walmart?

The one we're referring to is rated at 10 million cp.
It's a bit bigger than the 3.5 mill.
Larger battery for better run time.
Larger reflector for better photon management.
Bigger body a accommodate it all.

Gives more room inside to work with too.

thanks for the info

what about the 15mcp thor? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

15 million CP Thor = bigger relector. So, if you put a HID setup in that it only equals more throw and more lumens to actually be put out!!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thor, 15>10 mcp, epoxy (any kind), 1.25 PVC, and an HID bulb and ballast.
