content: Example only! (as there seem to be many different ones).As others have said heat-lamps, I've tried to find a possible ball-park (typical) one.This one is at least, almost the same ratings, 100 watts and 230 V (240 V).But, I'm also unclear about its dimensions (at an educated guess, this one seems a fair bit smaller), and type of connections etc.Quotehttps://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/heat-lamps/7960328
