Just realised I'm getting low on these good old bulbs that i use for heat lamps in the hospital box,and for baby quails & chickens,etc

supermarkets just have new ecobulbs, pet shops have those ridiculously expensive reptile lamp bulbs

where does everyone get these now?

There are ads on both gumtree and eBay. But transport might not be an option.

You could try a wanted ad on gumtree.

Party lights are still available in incandesant globes.they may even be more soothing then a bright globe.

you can still buy them at Bunnings, usually near the party light section and you have to look hard to find them. I got some a month ago
