I have a Little Dipper from when I first began my business 10 years ago. We still use it for specialized batches of things and for milk or white chocolate. My question.

I wonder if "edison screw base heaters" would work. These are porcelain resistance heaters that have the same sort of screw base as a lightbulb.

Rather more expensive that a lightbulb (perhaps $20 to $30), but then you don't have to worry about them burning out.

Grainger carries the replacement bulbs for the Little Dipper, part ID is 5UCW0. I contacted Hilliards and they recommended this bulb. I bought 4 for under $15 total. They say they provide 20,000 hours each. Hope this helps!

Pet stores sell heater/ceramic bulbs in a wide range of power (used to keep dinosaurs warm).

Perfect for chocolate applications.
