I wish I could help, but I tend to rewire to avoid this dilemma.

rewire to and intermediate 30 watt reflector, what i run my fluidums and Astros on. other wise u will have to order from the uk, that's what i had to do with the lamps i didn't rewire

Hey Dr. What?. Thanks for the link but that appears to be a 40 W bulb. Do you know if it's safe to use a 40 W in place of the standard 30 W?

They should have the 30w as well but they are like $6 a piece.I just use these because they are a lot cheapr and i put a dimmer them.
