Default Large light bulb for very old street lamp

I cannot see it, but around our way when I came here in1957, the lights were
like ordinary bulbs with a kind of reflector of pieces of mirror that aimed
the light downwards.
I always though back then that the bulbs looked rather small.
So it could be its just the way it is or was.

Hi peeps,

I have an old Victorian street lamp i want to hang off a telegraph pole in
my garden. It was gas originally, but i need it to produce a decent
amount of light, be efficient and reliable.

It looks a bit like this-

But is 50cm wide and 80cm tall, i think it needs a bigger bulb!

Any suggestions?

Ta
