<p>I skipped the ring and went with a standard 40w utility bulb and a sliding dimmer switch. Has been working fine for about six months now.</p>

<p>Hi , so am back to report I went with the a 15 40w bulb with the heat ring , it just wasn’t getting hot even after 4 hours , then I went with the tall reflector bulb and the heat ring , by 2 hours in the lamp was flowing great , after about 6 hours maybe even got to hot .

<p>I'm honestly unsure why a 1970s lamp would begin to take much longer to heat up, using the proper 40-watt bulb. Heat rings were introduced in the late 1990s, they were never sold in the 70s, but making one out of foil is an idea.</p>

<p>not recommended to go to a higher wattage.</p>
<p>Especially for a vintage lamp where the components can grow brittle over time<br/>you can try a 40-watt Halogen Reflector and more directly focus the light output,, thus giving more heat to the globe</p>

<p>Wow amazing thank you . I’ll have to give this a try . <br/><br/></p>
<p>now I have 3 good options , the tin foil I could tomorrow , the metal one not sure but I have the tools I think and last a stronger bulb [ a 60 watt bulb ] </p>
<p></p>
<p>would you suggest trying the higher watt bulb first or maybe the tin foil , both of those I could try over the week end . <br/><br/></p>
<p>thanks once more for such great advice!</p>
