I purchased the Electron EHP315 halogen lights last winter.
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=15442
They were my first foray into bike lights and I didn't want to spend a fortune but I have recognised their limitations. One of the chief ones being the scarcity of 6v MR11-C bulbs in 15W or 20W guise.
So my plan is to fit 12v MR11-C bulbs instead which are far easier to find in higher wattages.
Can anyone suggest a suitable battery that would give around 1.5 - 2 hours burn time at 20W. If my calculations are correct I would need a 3300mA 12v battery???
I'd prefer not to cannibalise a power drill, camcorder battery etc.
It's my first time doing anything like this so I'm not sure where to look!
