##  VE7WJ,  now  sk,  used  sealed  high  beam  halogen  lights
in  the late  70s.   12  vdc.  Lit the tower  up  real  good.  He  also
had em  mounted  towards top  of  tower....  pointed  back  towards
the home.  

##  Led  version  in  a floodlamp,  turned vertical   might  do  the  trick. 
Like  those  automotive LED   off  road  light  bar  assys.   The  PIAA brand
halogen  foglamps  I use on my car  have an  extremely narrow  band of
light.   Turned  vertical, they  would  illuminate pretty good.   Led  versions
are  now  available.
