Can anybody tell me where to find a 6V3W Halogen bulb outside of the few internet dealers? My LBS has no clue, in fact they told me the Spanninga dynamo and headlight I bought last year doesn't exist. Do any of the hardware chains or big box home stores carry bulbs like that?

I would check with a specialty lighting place, like Winn's Electric in the Flint area.
GOOD LUCK!

I have about four or five of them. I no longer have the Bisy dynamo light. If you are interested, I'll dig them out and get an exact number. No reasonable offer refused :)

Actually, I was looking for a more convenient place so I wouldn't have to buy spares on the internet and keep a stockpile around.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to make that leap to high power led lighting and 18650 Li rechargeable power.

You'll find that outside of a few internet shops 6v bulbs are hard to find and expensive, really expensive. 12v on the other hand are cheap and available at most hypermarkets.
