Great light bulb for my Lower Pro Light

this bulb was very hard to get into the light itself, and I ended up having to have my boyfriend get it in for me because I wasn't strong enough. Other than that, its so bright and gives off a solid amount of heat. Love it for what im using it for (low light settings for wedding receptions)

Are there LED alternatives to this bulb? I realize it won't have the same output wattage. I can work around that.
Asked by: Sam
The Osram GCA (250W/120V) Lamp only comes as a quartz bulb. There are no LED versions.
