Cyclops Spot Light

At Costco I found a 15 MILLION candlepower rechargeable flashlight for $29.99. It pretty much stopped me in my tracks. After charging all day, it's incredibly bright. The only analogy that I can think of is the spotlight on a police helicopter.

It's a model CYC-S1500, made by Cyclops Solutions of Bedford, Texas. It uses a standard automotive H4 130W halogen bulb and what appears to be a motorcycle battery. It has a high and low-power setting and it comes with both AC/DC charger and 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter. Manufacturer's claimed burn time on high power is 40 minutes.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined a light like this would ever be available for thirty bucks. My friends and I are already talking about upgrading ours with super-duper PIAA H4 bulbs and Optima batteries, to hopefully create a real monster...

Can you please tell me how I can get a replacement bulb type H4 12V 100/90W.
For my Thor-X rechargeable spotlight.
Is this bulb a standard bulb, from my local B&Q store.
Or a Special one.
If you can help.
Thank You Yours

David

Yes this was truly a fantastic deal for $30. People never cease to be amazed by the sheer size and the raw luminous power. Unfortunately they now go for $89.99:

I have a Cyclop 15 million CP spotlight and the
'cigarette lighter adaapter' cord. Missing the AC/DC
charger, operability of the unit is questionable. Do you
have available this charger. If so, do you work with PayPal
Warm Regards
