as in it melted the fixture? Or stopped working? In any case, get a flood bulb, and an arcadia uvb bulb. Both together will work much better. PM me for information... I don't know of many uro keepers on here, so if you pm me i can help you out
 
I have several Uro's...for basking I use a standard Par35 90 watt outdoor flood light. I supply UVB with a flourescent strip...Acadia is touted as the best among many Uro keepers, but I have had success with some of the more common fluorescents as well.

Combine these 2 products or an equivalent of whatever brand and it will be fine. There is one Halogen bulb that zoo med makes that has a 1 year warranty on it. If it burns out you can just send it in and get it replaced. I will figure out what model and brand it is for you tomorrow.
 
I recommend the tube style uvb, it covers a greater area.

Uro's spend so much time basking that as long as the UV is near the "hot spot" then it does not matter.
