that sounds a better idea, i normally pay over £7 each for the big bulbs and because the electric supply is so bad here they pop every couply of weeks. Do your bulbs need a ceramic holder?

these are just normal bayonet bulbs fitted to light fittings from B&Q, all my chicks have been brooded with these without any probems. I do have a big brooder lamp but it wasn't practical for use in the house, and to be honest I don't think it would do the job any better.
