Rona & Lowes, & Home depot does not have these larger bulbs.. at least not in Canada. In usa, yes. I was at a restaurant on Fraser st & 17th ( Fraser Court Restaurant) and they recently installed all the pot lights at a height of 12 feet ceilings.... the lighting is surprising good.. easily can read a menu. Have a look it anyone is interested; installed, a waitress said it was $50 each.. they must use 200 or so bulbs there.
That restaurant uses some 7 led bulb but on alibaba.com, some have 9 or 11 leds and are between 700 and 1000 lumens ( 12W, to 16W models respectively). Looks like I will have to bite the bullet and get some from China. Incidently, in Vancouver, someone said any new house with pot lights must use LED... no more halogen, CFL nor incandescent is allowed. It gets quite expensive!

PS moncus, I recall you had the smaller diameter LED pot lights... not the 4.81" ones. I thought they looked kinda dim and only good for ambience
