Intercepted this device on its way to the trash, because of a fried bulb that the manufacturer wouldn't replace.
Figured I'd take a look, expecting I would have to buy a fancy bulb to replace the original.
Turned out to be a 3€ fix that I gladly did.
Sharing the very trivial steps to show that it can be done.

That's it. Nothing fancy here. Remove the bulb by pulling it to one side. Replace with the new one.

don’t touch the glass light bulb with your hands. use something like a tissue as the grease from you’re skin goes onto the glass and ‘fries’ when the lamp heats up. desichuck x

Hello, thank you so much for this! It saved my Infracare, as it had fallen in an earthquake and the bulb inside was broken. I replaced the bulb with a Philips Halogen Bulb 200w R7 Linear and it is back to working again. Much appreciated!
Also, thanks to Des for the bulb handling tip. I used my dish washing gloves and a tissue to hold the bulb. Thanks!
Any idea how I can replace the front screen on this device? Where could I buy one? It has ripples/lines in the red filter part showing plain white light coming through 😩😩😩
Nowadays, it is a bit difficult to find the appropriate replacement bulb for this device. However, I could buy one made in China at RS Components (part of RS Group). RS Components has sales points in 32 countries. They sell the bulb under the Stock Number 796-0293. The original PHILIPS light bulb is said to have an operation time of about 500 hours, the spare bulb sold at RS Components is said to have an operation time of about 8000 hours.
