Damn, i have the same problem most of the bulbs, even the exo terra etc are all screw cap, i wanted to try one of their infra red types, but they do not seem to produce any bayonet fittings, might replace the fitting in the tank for a screw fitting type .

i think u will find that most of us use normal spot light bulbs as they are a lot cheaper and last just as long the only trouble i have is getting 100watt in a bc fitting.

i have just bought a few boyonet - screw adapter fittings which you just plug straight into the boyonet fitting so you can attach a crew fit on. works well and cost a couple of quid each from livefoods.co.uk
Mite be worth doing that rather than buying a whole new fitting and wiring it through?

you can buy convertors from most diy and rep shops that change bayonet fittings in to the screw instead of buying a new light fitting
