Okay its about time I get a good throwing spotlight. I see so many people making them which I think they do partly of cost and partly for the fun.
What my needs are would be a spotlight that throws way out there for night time spotlighting and shooting. For this part I would just need the light part and not have a battery as I would like
to use the cigarette lighter socket in the car. Unless a HID draws too much current and in that case a direct connection to the battery terminals will be needed.
Then for portable use I do not mind having a battery that is attached to the light via a cable.
Having said that could I not just buy one of the many HID vehicle on ebay or some where else?? Then this way I will have a light HID spotlight that is all good to go just add power.
Do the spotlights sold on ebay say 9" out throw a modded donor spotlight? Because this way buying a ready make spotlight just seems the easiest, best cheapest way for what I am thinking of doing.
Also the seem to be 6000K light temp. I think that the 4000K or the 4300K are way better, is this true.
What to do any advice?
I'm in Australia so I may not have the larger selection of available donor spotlight cases that you guys might have in the states.
