"The halogen flood bulb looks different because nearly all the light is illuminating the wax, whereas an incandescent bulb in reflector or golf ball style will “leak” light through the glass from below.  I believe this phenomena is…"

"Thank you, I'll check out your shop! It would be good to get the same bulb it came with though, if anyone has them. Do you have any ideas for where I might go for that? "
