SON bulbs help

I've seen a few different bulbs mentioned. Which are the recommended
versions, and any good online sources for them?

I've a Oval Plus DIWA headlight, btw.

If you're only running a front from the SON then you'll need a 3W rather
than a 2.4W. I got mine from the CTC online shop, I think. You want a
halogen, you get what you pay for rule seems to apply.

CTC shop, get the Philips halogen ones, 3W unless you're running an
incandescent or multi-LED dynamo-powered rear light (the original B&M
Toplight works OK with a 3W front, the 4D Toplight draws a bit too
much current).

Thanks! I have the DIWA Toplight with standlight and a single rear LED, I
guess it's worth trying a 3W one.
