Just took the plunge and bought a Focomat Ic. It needs a bulb. I'm looking for both a 75W and 150W so I can experiment with both. Any suggestions on where to buy the correct bulbs here in the US?

B&H or Freestyle would sell enlarger bulbs.
Depending on the type of enlarger others use, some claim to have had good success with G30 LED bulbs for photo enlarger use, but I cannot speak from experience in this matter.

You need the PH 211 for 75 watts or the PH 212 for 150 watts. I think there is a 250 watt bulb too but I forgot the name of it. I wouldn't recommend it anyway. Too much heat.
You can get them at B&H.
When you are adjusting the auto focus, throw an LED bulb in there. You can just leave it on that way.

Thanks, all!
Might you have meant https://www.replacementlightbulbs.com/ ? (They do carry both PH 211 and PH 212 bulbs.) I tried replacementbulbs.com and couldn't find any enlarger bulbs at all ...
Thanks much for the PH numbers -- very helpful! And for the LED tip too.
Thanks -- might experiment with the LED in future. (I did, in fact, know BH and Freestyle carried enlarger bulbs -- but not which ones would fit the Ic.)
