I just purchased two 65 watt frost house hold indoor flood lights from rona yesterday for like 7 dollars and it works really good . Anywhere like Rona,Home Depot, or Lowes should have what your looking for.

Incan bulbs are getting harder to find because they cost so much more
to run them
Yes, I buy mine by the case from Amazon.com.
I get a case (24) of 40 and 60 watts.
They used to make them in 50W, but they are very hard to find.

The good old fashion incans are the only bulbs (on the cheap) that give off
the heat.

Oh, I also buy 25W bulbs by the case

Psychobunny I just wanna ask, you mentioned you get 25Watt bulbs aswell, do you mind me asking why you do this? Wouldn't 25Watt give of little heat?

Many thanks
