I think you can use PAR38 in place of R40, have a look hehttp://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Ind...dex/Lamps_and_...


Unless I'm mistaken it would be many times too big.

I don't know the details of the app, but I've often replaced spotlight

with a candle or golfball.

It's just a wee Ikea lamp with an ES bulb so probably a golf or candle
would do.
