This is where we tend to get our bulbs in bulk. They are really great in the shop and do them very cheaply for a bulk buy. Maybe have a look and see if you have any stores near to you. http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Ind...tor/index.html

No store near me no longer stock the 100watt reflector bulbs, so I purchased a pack of 10 from eBay only to find that when I picked them up from Royal Mail sorting office 6 of them were broke! I still have a bulk of 60 watt, but when these run out
I use halogen heat bulbs from swell in the tortoise sheds, they throw out loads of heat and are reflective, they do cost around £7 but do last up to a year, and because they throw out massive heat I only need the 50watt & 75watt bulbs. They are also very hard so won't get broke in transit x

So when they eventually stop selling 60 watt spot lamps altogether what will everyone use?
Any links please would be a great help. Thanks x |

Don't need 60 watt spot lights anymore.
Bought an Arcadia Halogen Basking Spot light 75watt and it's amazing...see link. LINK:http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/rept...ot-243340.html The heat from this light is so good that I wouldn't go back to Tungsten bulbs...these last three times longer. |
