   Hello, If you want to be cheap, just measure the impedance of the known
  coil that puts out the 55 watts and add the necessary windings to your
  current lighting coil. I am sure there is some calculations you can make
  but you will need to know the strength of the mag. I believe that you could
  also rewind your own by placing a drill in vise and clamp the coil in the
  jaws. The coil winding wire should be easy to find. Were lucky here since
  we wind yig coils here its no problem.

             good luck
