Will bulbs for the Eumig S 802 stop burn out all at once or grow more dim gradually? Also, could you please suggest the best place for finding replacement bulbs?
Thanks in advance.

The answer to your question is "yes" to both.

The bulbs often gradually dim AND in the end the filament snaps and they blow all at once.

-same process: the tungsten in the filament gradually boils off and deposits on the envelope, darkening it. The envelope gets darker and darker, the filament gets thinner and thinner until one day it's too weak...

I've always liked this guy for lamps:

You just need to be sure you need EFP (100W) or EFN (75W)

EFP 100W

EFN 75W

Eumig 802 may be built with either, and you should stay with whichever it was meant to use.
