<blockquote><div>I found some locally at a pool and spa store. That buld is commonly still used for that application, but it has a slightly shoter neck than the one that is specified for the grandes. I recall the store called it something else, so take your bulb with to match it up. With the shorter neck the catch is you then have to make adjustments.... I put in my new shorter necked bulbs, and one of my grandes runs just fine as is. One still did not get hot enough to flow right so I added a socket extender <strong>(CATION WITH THIS!)</strong> For that lamp it was fine, perfect solution, but for some it brings the bulb too close to the glass and could break/ burn your lamp. If neither of these work then you have to adjust the height of the socket in the base of the lamp through the bottom. good luck</div>

Bulb extenders have cause globe breakage. Bohdan posted about this several months ago. Like you said, the key is don't get the bulb too close to the globe.

<p>Okay, found a local electric store, got a R20 100 watt reflector for $1.90! WOW! I couldn't believe how cheap it was! So far, 2 out of the three run terrific. I'll be testing the last one tomorrow... but here's a pic of today's Custom Lime/Yellow & the bulb box. If folks are interested in buying bulbs from me, just give me a yell & I'll figure up packaging & shipping for you.…</p>

I'm afraid to buy a case, seeing as how they don't flow. When I dyed them last summer, I'm afraid I ruined the fluid. So I'll order 1 from Lava & try it on all of them, one day @ a time. Thanks for all the info, guys. You're always helpful, no matter how scatterbrained I am!
