Proud to see it. Mine was almost exactly the same--two modified 20W Malibu landscape lights from Home Depot and a 4.5 AH SLA battery. Should give you about an hour of run time with both lights on continuously.

Right now, I'm running just one of those lights with a 2.3 AH SLA battery, and a 0.2 AH amber xenon rear flasher. I get just over an hour run time.

Take a look at those "energy saver" MR16's at bulbs.com. Mine puts out the equivalent of 35W with only a 20W draw.

Next time, I'll consider spending the extra cash on a new charger just so I can get a 4.5 AH battery as light as yours.
