Sure... amraspalantir http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=100W+ballast&catId=0
If you don't wanna use ESCROW (actually it's safer than PP in a certain way, because the seller is not paid until you authorise ESCROW to release it, so you have the bargaining chip for any full or partial refunds. Now PP could in some rare cases be unable to suck funds from the sellers account, highly unlikely but i thought i nearly suffered that for my Lightpipe 250W purchase, which was usd 530 and he had multiple orders)
I purchased from Guangzhou COSON, as they have the 12V to 24V version. This version works with voltages from 9.5V-30V as specified on the back. The advantage is that you get slightly more power output with 24V, ballast efficiency is higher as well. The ballast would be straining, and you can hear it, if the voltage drops below 12V loaded. This is useful if you want to use an external pack next time with 2 x SLAs in series. You will never know what comes up.... i feel that paying like 20-30 bucks more is better for flexibility.

They are extremely fast, they posted the package via DHL the next day and i got it after 3 days after i paid.
You can see in the listing that it is taking 12.0V from a PSU and current is 8.3 amps. 99.6 watts of input power. I personally measured 98W from my SLA.
BTW if you want the most output, choose the 4300K bulb. 5000K bulb is ok if you want a pure white, definitely within 5% of the 4300K bulb.
You need to order a pair of 4300K H3 base bulb of 55W power. This would give you the smaller bulb with a shorter arc length of about 3-4mm. The 75 and 100W ones are 5-6mm, and this means less throw. However the 75/100W bulbs do give 9500-10000 bulb lumens, while the overdriven 55W can only get maybe 7000+ bulb lumens due to lowered efficiency. High powered HIDs & metal halides are very efficient relatively, more efficient than LEDs. The Philips bulbs are doing like 120 lumens per watt, and this is at the high end of the power curve, not like XM-L which reaches only about 60 lm per watt in real life in our flashlight app. (due to heat) You may notice that P60 XM-Ls often dig below 50lm/W.
The LED franternity thinks that HID is old-school and LED is overtook it esp with the XM-L. Sorry folks, in reality it's far from it. But on paper, XM-L looks good. :)
It's a big investment with all the bulbs/ballast and host. But i'd say bite the bullet if you are a throw junkie. It is WORTH IT. If you really want to get into the throw crowd and can accept the -ve of say big host and plastic construction, forget about LEDs.
