Update Report on Carley Reflectors.

3" reflector
I can't get any W/A lamp I own far enough in the Carley 3" reflector to focus. That seems to limit me to the Carley 6.0 V 3.3 A 500 Lumen Halogen T-2 1/2 bulb with untrimmed leads. I'll buy one or two for this reflector. (I no longer have the extra long 6.30 V 1.92 A W/A bulb.)

2" reflector
The W/A bulbs fit but cast more of a flood beam than I had hoped for, albeit with a very hot hotspot that overlaps with the lensed filament projection. Maybe the unlensed Carley lamps are better tuned for a tighter hotspot.

Not sure you you guys care or not, but I found some interesting bulbs/reflectors here: http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=320150&type=store

bsmith:

Those MR units have integral glass reflectors. Various people have played with them but seem to have difficulty finding housings to hold the relatively fragile and very hot reflector.

Also, most of these MR bulbs, seem to have wider beam patterns. The narrowest spot I've seen is 20 degrees although 12 or 15 degrees may exist.
