 David, you can still get incandescent bulbs. While you can’t get a bulb specifically at 100 watts, you can get them at a reduced wattage and, I think they are just as bright. I am looking at a box I have of four GE ultra soft white that uses 72 watts, but at 1270 lumens. It also reads, “100w incandescent modified spectrum replacement.” They go on to say, on the side panel, “These bulbs use less energy than 100 watt incandescent modified spectrum bulbs while providing more light output (1270 vs. 1260 lumens).”  

You can also get a variety of 3-way incandescent bulbs.
