Quick Update - The infrared heat lamp solution is working well, it has now ran for a couple of days. I ran it a little hot initially, but have since found the "sweet spot" and marked the adjustment knob and the base with a sharpie. My advice would be to start it up in the early am so you can tweak it during the day as necessary. When unsure/before going to bed, adjust it to the "cool side." Anyway, whenever I need a replacement bulb, it's now available for $8 at the local home improvement store…

Since you adjusted the socket maybe this will fit <a href="http://www.bulbs.com/eSpec.aspx?ID=13870&Ref=Reflector&RefId=131&Ref2=Incandescent+Bulbs" target="_blank">http://www.bulbs.com/eSpec.aspx?ID=13870&Ref=Reflector&RefId=131&Ref2=Incandescent+Bulbs</a><br />

I know it may be a joke trying but have you contacted LavaWorld about this ? Hopefully they can get the bulbs for the lamps they sell...but I would not count on it.<br />

Well, my metal halide substitute idea is canned if the base can't accept a MOL of 6". I can't find any 200W lamp with a 5.2" height.<br />
<br />
The best I can find is the Philips part # 145516, 175PAR38/HEAT/CL, which is a 175W clear glass infrared lamp with a height of ~5.3"<br />
<br />
As for normal lamp 150W is available in BR38, 5 1/4" height, but not 200W.<br />
Perhaps GE or Osram Sylvania may have something else, but not in Philips catalog…

50 Watts is little difference and it can be adjusted via the built in dimmer. I am not going to be held hostage by the Chinese. I can also now order the Phillips BR40-200W which has the same MOL as I have now adjected to (6.5").

Use of a higher wattage bulb is ill advised. The bottles Lava World uses are cheap and thing. They can and will crack if too much heat is applied.
