Need advice from bulb experts (MR16)

[jd_oc]

Thanks to alpg88 for his advice on my Mag build, I've built up a pretty nice 4D mag. It currently has a ceramic bi-pin socket (5.3mm) and 12aa holder from fivemega. Also got a borofloat lens. I'm currently running it with 12 Elite 1700 AA's and it is a beast. Local hardware stores only have up to 50w MR16 bulbs, but they are throwing out close to 1500+ lumens I would guess (overdriven to ~75watts). I want to go with some 100w bulbs, but would like some recommendations (along with where to buy). I need GU5.3 bi-pin MR16s.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Where did you buy the 1700 Elites?

I am in the process of building an MR16 based Maglite myself.

Yes, I got them from cheapbatterypacks as well. Quick shipping. But back to the original question, any 100W MR16 bulb recommendations?
