Default Bayonet lampholder for outside lantern?


Excuse my ignorance on this one...

I'm 'refurbishing' an old external porch light. It's traditional metal
lantern style, open bottom, glass leaded light panels in the sides. The
porch itself is open, but the lantern is ceiling mounted, so the latern is
not directly exposed to the weather.

It had been fitted with a standard 240v bayonet bulb - and what appears to
be 'hard brown plastic' lampholder - the internals of which have rusted
away.

Can anyone tell me if there is an appropriate type of lampholder to use in
this outside application?

Thanks,


Mike A.
