Yeah, I have to check out other beam patterns. The idea of using lenses sounds novel. I thought usually, you'd just have to shop around for bulbs with different pattern, and that is indeed a PITA.
I'm thinking of simply adding a second MR-16 bulb, but I need a fixture to mount it in. The one I'm using was purchased at an IKEA store, and I thought I had more of them, but I don't see any lying around (I think my Mom cleaned out the garage).
Can you tell me more about those "2 by 2" bulbs you are using? They looked good in the photos. How many watts are they? Did you buy them online?
These have actually been out for a while now. You can find details here:

or on the Vision X website. They're retailed by a number of Vision X off-road dealers and have been re-branded for sale by Twisted Throttle as Denali lighting kits. As per the Vision X site the Denalis are all first generation of what Vision X is currently offerring. In any case I had immediate warranty issues with two of the Denali pods and would only deal directly with Vision X in the future.
There is also a seller operating out of Hong Kong offering spmething dimilar but perspnally only interested in an eliptical lens configuration.
The beamshot I posted might be a little deceptive because I used only a one second exposure wheras the MTBR normally posts beam shots of most lights with a 4 second exposure. Regardless of lightput, most LED lights and flashlights have such a narrow beam that you couldn't safely drive a car with them. The output from the 15/45 is different and if you stuck 4 of these on the front of any car - you could turn off the headlights.
