1 x 35w 38deg flood

They were all cheap (less than $2.50/each) and I figure that between these four bulbs, I'll be able to find a combination that I'm happy with. I don't think my 5aH battery can support a total of 70w for too long, so right now I'm running the 20w flood with the 35w spot (flood on all the time, spot on when cars are approaching or in busy areas). The light that these bulbs produce is incredible, especially considering the price. I'll get some pictures up here this weekend that show my entire setup as I have yet to post them.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for MR16 bulbs that I should tryout for even more light (yes I'm addicted)? Has anyone tried the LED MR16 bulbs with any success? Are there other options in the MR16 that I might not know about and should try?
Besides the Phillips you can also try Solux but those come only in 35w. Very nice blue light but a bit too much draw for the 5ah battery I am currently running.
