Thanks Ed for your evaluation of these specially made MR16 bulbs.  The
history of these bulbs goes back many years when I had a few prototypes from
a former GE Engineer and took them to OSH.  Several Lancair builders
including Rick Argente, Bob Chesley, Curt Longo and others, tried out these
bulbs and liked them.  After many years I was able to get a boutique light
shop to make these bulbs.  They are based on the standard MR16 (2 inch dia)
format but are made from a special 100watt halogen bulb and then joined into
a coated reflector.

For any of those builders who are already using this type of bulb, I
encourage you to try them out.  The pencil-like beam is spectacular. I only
have a small onetime supply of these as my source for the filament is longer
available.  If you would like to try them out please send a private email.
I'll send you a sample at no cost to you.  If you like it, buy a dozen.  If
you don't, just return it.  So far, no one has returned the sample.
