heat question?

I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a 5 watt bulb from. I just got a new cage from BARRS its 12x12x16 it is for my gtp and I have tried a 25w red bulb and a 15w clear bulb and they are both too hot for it. Thanks Steve

You will probably have a very hard time finding that size bulb to fit a standard socket. Most of the bulbs in that wattage are for appliances.. Your best bet is to use a dimmer.. Take a look at this link to my site on how to build one.
