That will probably depend on what kind it came with.
I’m not being a smart-aleck here; they have different color temperatures, wattages, etc. Your best bet is to check with a local photography store or one of the many big catalog/online stores.
Also, if there’s a manufacturer listed on the unit, check for a phone number or website. [who] Carl
Just replace it with the exact same type of bulb that was in it before. Take the burnt out bulb with you to the Hardware store. [who] Gwyn of Graphite Land
Both of the previous answers were right.
Your question lacks details.
What kind of light do you have?
Which light burnt out?
Was it the modeling light or the flash tube?
If it is a modeling light, I replace mine with a 150 watt bulb from Wal-Mart. But then again, my lights are AlienBees by Paul C. Buff. They do that.
I don’t know what you are using, so it would be impossible for me to guess. If you could be more specific, we could help you more. [who] Rob L
