Hi,
After seeing all the great work everyone has done building lights, I'm interested in building my own. I have a question regarding batteries, and I was wondering if anyone here with more experience could help me out.
I am planning to use a 30 watt, spotlight, mr16 bulb for my light (12 volt). In order to power that, I was hoping, I could get away from the starndard block shaped 12 volt batteries and use a Nimh battery pack set up in series. I was looking at the batteries shown at this site:

I was wondering if it would be feasible to hook up 10 of those in series in order to power the bulb, and if so, would I get a decent burn time (compared to the block batteries)
If anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Chris
