Unfortunately I have never seen this in a shop, entierh on a web-site.
I see a lot of low-energu bulb with either the bayonett or the big
screw. Nothing with the small screw...

Do you have an idea of where I could find this ?

They have them in our local B&Q superstore. Other places such as online
suppliers (RS, etc) tend to have a limited range with only low wattages
available.

Ikea do them

Hi,
In my experience Ikea's low energy bulbs last about 5 days. This was a
few years ago though. I know they're cheap but at that rate you may as well
go to B&Q and spend a wee bit more.

Cheers,

IMHE, they're up to 3 1/2 years (how long I've been in this place).
OTOH, all of the slightly larger Phillips I put in at the same time
have now failed. YMMV

One of the lamps on that page is described as an energy saver eqivalent
of a 40 watts lamp ES base R80 - can anyone tell me how this differs from an
R50 fitting type? I suppose I can't use the R80 if I have an R50 track? I've
not seen low energy R50 spots, do such things exist? Ta.

IKEA seem to be about the largest stockists of all things Edison screw.
