Anyone use Solar Glo 160W?

If anyone uses a Solar Glo 160 Watt MVB, PLEASE help me!
I can NOT find a lamp for it. I even went to the Exo Terra website, but their wire lamp only takes up to 150 W. They MAKE the freaking bulb but they don't make a lamp that will handle the wattage???!?!?
I know 150 is close to 160, but I sure don't want to have a fire due to using a lamp that isn't rated for the bulb wattage.

Have you tried a brooder light?

I use one, but I hard wired one of mine with a ceramic light base similar to this:

Bix box stores also have higher rated clamp lights for cheaper than the pet stuff. Check out any hardware store. Just don't mount it supported by the clamp. I don't trust those things in the long run.

That's also my suggestion. This one is 11 1/2 inches wide and only cost five dollars on sale I got it at the feed store in the chicken department.
