I cannot find any cheap incandescent flood bulbs online easily anymore. I came across this incandescent Fluker's basking bulb which states that it is a "Spotlight" bulb but from the images the light bulb looks more like a flood bulbs. Does anyone know if it really is a flood bulb or a Spotlight...

Yes, I have room for a 2x4 box so I'll make that instead of a 2x2. The box is 1 foot high but I can make it higher. My only concern is the heat lamp causing fire hazards.
