Heating & cooling with solar is often too costly. As noted in the previous answer, you would want to power the light through an inverter and batteries. You would then need enough panels to to replenish the battery charge each day. If the 250 watt heat lamp bulb needs to operate for 24 hours per day, then 24 x 250 = 6000 watts must be produced. This must be accomplished even on cloudy days & during daylight hours. Plan on a maximum of 500 watts per panel per day, with 12 panels & several large batteries.

I use 2 - 100w panels and 2 deep cell batteries to power a small refrigerater and works great! So should work well with heat bulb!

A 27 W Quad Tube Fluorescent can be used with this lamp. It's just easy to buy. I had mine from here and it works just great so far Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

I don't know whether a dimmer would work, but I understand the need for variable heat. I am using two of these bulbs in my large chicken coop - 60 watts and 150 watts. I connect them to a timer and a plug with a thermostat that comes on at 38 degrees. I use these in different combinations as the winter progresses to keep the chickens above freezing without roasting them. So if the dimmer doesn't work you might be able to think of other creative options. For indoor use the Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat looks promising.

Kathy-I would recommend you look up the lamp number and see what bulbs work with it. Could also call the Ott company and ask. That's what I did to make sure the bulb would work in our lamp, as got second-hand with no bulb in it. Ended up buying off Amazon because so much cheaper there than from company. Good luck!

A regular bulb is too hot. I used a 40 watt curly energy saving bulb too. Found the bulbs in the light bulb section at discount store. About $4 for 3 bulbs.

Yes, although I already had mine replaced because I busted the original bulb. However, it's just easy to replace. I bought my new bulb here and I'm so pleased with its quality. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

300w bulbs will probably work for a little while but because of the heat produced by it,the lamp will not last and it would represent a fire hazard. 300w lamps were produced previously, but obviously, because of the hazard involved they are no longer available. DO NOT USE A 300W BULB IN A 190W LAMP!

my reply is I need to get one also but 42 W 4-quad bulb since I zapped mine with electro static discharge last night.the company you deal with should be able to give you the right replacement for the number you give him. look around if amazon can't help go to Full spectrum or a store near you that sells different type of bulbs.even Amazon should have replacement book to look it up.

I purchased a 60W T bulb. Because of the material the shade is made out of, I wouldn't go with a regular light bulb. But that's just me, I'm sure a lower watt regular could work. Hope that helps.

This is the bulb that I'm using for this fixture. It's equivalent to 100W incandescent with E26 base. It works great for me. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs 23 Watt - 100 W Equal - Full Spectrum 5000K - CFL Light Bulb - E26 Base - Standard Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

This bulb did not work in my Grandrich floor lamp. My lamp requires a Grandrich bulb. That is what I ordered but received a "Made in China" bulb and it would not work. If your lamp is a Grandrich lamp, it will require a Grandrich bulb. I haven't found any others that work in my lamp.

I found on the internet that the +C may mean the bulb is coated to reduce heat to the fixture.. if that's the case then consider that these bulbs are only 3W, and produce very little heat.. make your own decision from there....

Chelsie - The lamp takes bulbs that fit into a conventionally sized base. We are using a 50-100-150 3-way conventional bulb. I also screwed in a 75 watt energy efficiency bulb, which worked. I don't know if they have 3-way high energy bulbs, but if they do, I assume that they would work as well.

Absolutely. We use it to heat an outdoor chicken coop. For safety sake, I must suggest that you buy a protective socket to guard against incidental or accidental contact and to protect against fire. The item listed on Amazon is: Woods 0167 18/2-Gauge SJTW Brooder Clamp Lamp with Bulb Guard and 9.75-Inch Reflector, 250-Watt, 8-Foot Cord. This is what we use. 'Hope this helps.

I would think it would work; mine replaced a different wattage bulb in my kitchen and it's been working fine. You could also ask the actual company selling the bulb.
