I found that the original Bakelite lampholder of mine deteriorated due to the heat of a 100W bulb. I replaced it with a brass lampholder holder, which did require adjusting the springs to compensate for the extra weight. I now use 40W or 60W reflector lamps, of which I laid in a stock when they were still available.
