Hey guys, I was just looking for a replacement bulb for my mathmos fludium and was wondering if these bulbs will work? 

I ran across these

As Marcel suggested, the 40w halogen reflector spots are the stye that Mathmos now sell for the Fluidium.

However, in my experience they cause overheating, so I'd recommend using a dimmer switch with them.

Alternatively, you can use a 30w spot (as used in the Mathmos Jet, Baby, and Telstars). It'll take longer to get started but then flow perfectly for hours.

Oh okay. Awesome. Can you send me a link to one you suggest? Im currently in the United States so I cant find one online lol

Marcel's 40w halogen reflectors are a very fair price (and Mathmos have been out of stock for as long as I can remember!): http://goolamp.com/en/bulbs/42-40w-drop-bulb-e14-.html

These are the 30w spots: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=3...  although trying to work out best price and quality these days is a bit of a minefield.
