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.

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.
