I put two standard 25-40 watt light bulbs in my pump house every winter to
keep things from freezing. Is there a longer lasting bulb out there? These
usually of out mid-winter and I have to make sure I catch it or I could have
problems.

I read where putting in European Bulbs that run off 230volts, run at our 115
last a long time. Only problem, where do I get these bulbs if they are the
solution?



You might try using some of the self-regulating heat strips. They look
like a rubber extension cord and draw very little power at temperatures
above 50F. As the temperature drops, they start to warm up. I like them
better than bulbs because you can wrap them around pipes and pumps, and
they won't burn out like a light bulb.
