FYI currrent drawn is 1.27 A so with my 3800 mAH NiMH, hsould give a theoretical running time of 3 ours - that is 4 journeys worth.

Tried to get some photos to do comparison - had to use manual mode to fix exposure in order to give a proper comparison.

Not sure if the photos are representative since the Halogen lamps look very poor in comparison, they seem better in real life.

enjoy.
