Jim- It's just a heat lamp base used for raising baby chicks, sold in a feed store and also some lighting stores. It just needs to have a ceramic threaded socket to screw a light bulb in, so it won't overheat and melt like a plastic socket might. Mine has a metal hood, parabolic might describe it, and two cross pieces that limit how close I can get to the infrared ceramic bulb. This is not the same as a glass heat lamp bulb. I found two kinds in google and bought one with a coiled pattern on the surface, I think for $25. I've had it over a year now. It gets hot up close and once I was sticking my foot in close and melted a little of my non-cotton sock. I keep a layer of cloth between my skin and the bulb, and use the two wires that cross to keep it a good distance away. I hang it from a coat rack or a metal planting basket turned upside down.

Is it like a ceramic cone with the base facing out and centered in a parabolic reflector of metal? The resistance wire is twisted in a coil slightly smaller than a standard pencil, and the wire is wound around a spiral groove in the ceramic. I have been looking for those for years, and thought they were not longer available, because....they work. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
