That might explain the reply I got from Philips Australia: contact the Philips distributor. :?

So we have a stockpile now, but what's the replacement globe?
i was in bunnings a couple of weeks back and they had plenty!! maybe i need to make a stock pile of these bulbs. i find the only ones i need are the 60w. or it might be time to put the bulbs on dimming thermostats so i can use larger bulbsThere have been rumours around about Bunnings no longer stocking the Philips brand spot globe. The photo shows my local store. Another was the same, so we went to 2 others in Adelaide and bought the lot. View attachment 318397

not sure about the MVB's but all other incandescent globes are bannedSo if I understand this correctly, once the stockpile is gone, our only alternatives for spot heat via lighting will be the extremely overpriced bulbs sold in pet shops? I would imagine the ban of manufacture and importation would extend to those too, yes? And does this extend to Mercury vapour bulbs?
I have heard that some halogen globes give off enough heat, but from my own experimenting, I have yet to find one that does.
bunnings aren't the only ones who stock them .... there are other places who BTW ARE CHEAPER .
What wattage is that, Rick?
For some time now, Coles, Woolworths, and Big W here in SA haven't had the Philips spot globes. The brands they do have don't have a comparable product unfortunately.Coles, Big W, Mitre10, True Value Hardware, Wide World of Lights, IGA and Kmart are some more I've bought from in the past (last 2 years)
Don't use adaptors,use a 1 piece ceramic baseI've used 50w GU10 globes in the past with a ceramic adaptor but wasn't confident in the adaptors as one unscrewed apart once as I was replacing a globe. I've stopped using again now but might be an option down the track, but would prefer to change out the whole fitting.
