Made some progress. After breaking the brittled screwed shade spigot, I
found it was threaded onto a stub (and possibly glued) I then realised it
was fairly standard to went to local Lamp specialist and bought a new
lampholder (and spare). Took opportunity to look at new fittings but didn't
see any suited to my humble abode.
Tried to screw one onto the threaded stub but it wouldn't engage.
Eventually it fractured into crumbs. Tried the spare - trillmed the thread
a bit and used some glue. It works but the shade thread length is a bit
incompatible, Screw on the shade and in falls off the inner end of the
thread..

Would like LED - but a Halogen is 400 lumens and I want dimmable.
