Where does one get a replacement bulb for the DW788 scroll saw worklight (DW7881)?

I get mine at Ace Hardware....Part number 3019817....Accent Floodlight Indoor....25 watt   R14 bulb.
I'm sure they can be had at almost any hardware store or even maybe at some grocery or Wallmart type stores.
Just my 2 cents worth.

how does it stand up to the vibration? short life?

I found a replacement light for my hitachi saw at lowes, it was in with the appliance bulbs. I took the old one along to compare.
Mine lasted about 5 minuets before burning out, well actually shaking the pieces loose. The bulb should really be a rough service type. I couldn't find one (ok, I didn't look that well) so I just modified an adjustable desk lamp to fit near my saw, way better light then the little light on the saw.

I've had real good luck with the ones I use. Vibration doesn't seem to bother it but, I did go off on a weekend and left the light on the whole time and I think the heat finally got it.
They are some what hard to change because of the size of the bulb and the shade surrounding it.
I had tried other bulbs and didn't have much luck until I looked it up in the manual and found it required a 25 watt bulb. Lesser wattage's just don't cut it!

I broke the bulb on my 788 while putting it together.  Went down to Home Depot and bought another 25w, and it's been working fine for about a year.  Not enough vibration to cause it to go.
