should not be a problem for a safelight. I don't think
they
run hot enough to cause problems with the paper.

Thanks, and to everyone who suggested something. I went to
another lighting
store today and found a bunch of GE 15 watt bulbs (made in
Hungary).I bought
six, so I am set for a long time.

I'm still thinking about the other possibilites as I need
more safelights,
and I doubt that there more Beehive lamps around (here).

Are you not able to get these thing via eBay, they seem
to turn up pretty frequently there. However, I know you have
to deal with some pretty serious restrictions. I think
Ilford made a similar lamp, they certainly made filters that
fit the Kodak lamps.
