Hi ! I'm the New Guy

[Todd Miller]

Here's a few pic's of my lamps...

I have a Giant running 12 hours on a 75W reptile bulb. I spent 3 hours

looking for a 100W R20 reflector bulb to no avail.  Guess I'll have to buy one off the net,,,

[Critter]

Hi, yep you need another bulb the recommended 100 watt bulb.

kitty does not look impressed

[Todd Miller]

Yeah your right, he's just 'content' as long as he can hang around me @ the bench

as I work on projects or surf the net.  I have caught him looking at the lamps as they

warm up early, spilling out pea sized blobs, but then he will loose focus and moves on.

You have to own a cat to understand...

This is so true.  I thought I was a cat person until the dogs came into my life.  :>)

Nice collection of lamps, Todd.  Definitely get you a 100w bulb.  Hate to see that anemic no flow in such a GREAT LAMP!

Welcome to the place where all the obsessed ones come!

Kirk is right, Todd, we are obsessed!   I also have OCD about my lamps and that black Starship cap needs to go back on the black Starship, please!   ROFLOL   ;-))    You do have some lovely lamps and kitty is sweet, but I'm a "canine" person too. We do have one cat, but he's not too affectionate.  He's also a she.......named Luther.   Whoops.......lol

[Todd Miller]

Yes, I switched the caps back, my bad...

[Marley's Ghost]

Thank you!!!  The "switching of the caps"  can be my Christmas present.  LOL  Sorry.......OCD.      A lot of us are like that about our lamps!  lol

P. S. that cartoon is hilarious! 

[Joanne]

Well I managed to find a larger bulb, 100W reptile.  The bulb is larger than the

R20 Style, so I just shortened the lamp mounting hollow stud.  Left about 1/4 air

gap. I'll let it run for awhile.  This lamp has been running for days on the 75W but

I wrapped the lamp in a towel to keep the heat in as I did the conversion...I can't

afford lost time in heating.

Time will tell.

I hope that works, Todd.  I know nothing about reptile bulbs, but I do wrap my Version 1 Heritage Grandes in towels when the room temp drops.   If I don't, they freeze in mid-flow in a big spike.   Fingers crossed for you!
