OK, so here's what I finally got together.


2 10w MR-16 narrow floods. Radio Shack project box encloses 2 switches and bulbs. Cut up an old tube and wrapped it around, it puts an outward pressure against the mounting screws so that they can be independently aimed by adjusting the screws, the rubber also provides some insulation from the heat I think. Power will be from a SLA 5 or 7ah, haven't decided yet.


Mounting will be off a reflector mount I had. The hardware store will provide the bolt tomorrow, but this pic shows me holding it up to the mount.


and here are the internals with the back removed.

I tested it out tonight after I got it all soldered up. Hooked it up to my car battery and WOW. I'm still thinking I might replace one of the 10's with a 20, but we'll see. I'm still weighing the output vs weight.

any questions?
