I actually got a 150w bulb today and wow, it really made a difference!! I am sure the real MINX lamp will be super- I needed something to prove to myself that I could really apply it smoothly and I did with the 150w, it was closer to the table than the MINX heat apprars- but what do you do when you're applying chrome and the glare makes it so you can't see what you're doing?! LOL!! MINX is so bright, I gotta wear shades!
