Cant find basking bulbs

[PoisonedPaint]

Hi guys, I've run into a perdicament. I realized I only had one bulb and the rest dont work. I had a Par 38 flood light equivalent to 90w i believe 500 lumens or so? Im in US, eastern coast.

Does your home improvement stores not carry them? You can order them on line -- just dont go thru Amazon they are really slow now like a week or longer out - go directly to the website for ordering - if you order even Petsmart is taking forever--

You can use a regular household incandescent lightbulb in the interim. I believe the socket sizes are the same--E26.

They seem to not carry the 540 lumen bulb that I had in the PAR38 90W anymore I looked online and in store--I think maybe the only one that had them was amazon but yeah, I didnt want to get them there since it'd be forever lol

I got a higher lumen bulb out of desperation but its definitely more hot surface wise than what he had

Thats what we ended up doing for the time between ordering, thankfully it worked okay
