Where do you buy your spot bulbs?
The last one I bought was an exo terra 100w spot bulb, which was great until this morning when it blew.
The thing is, they're about £5 and I know 'normal' spot bulbs aren't anywhere near as expensive, but they don't go as high as 100w in the shops I've been looking in.. I know they're being phased out in favour of the eco-friendly bulbs, but they must still be selling the ones already manufactured. So does anyone know where I can get them cheaply? The best I could do was a 40w from the cupboard as a temp, but she doesn't look very happy with it at the moment.. Thanks |
