R40 Lightbulbs
 

Are these still made (40 Watt) .I can't see them in either the
Screwfix or Toolstation catalogues .I also tried searching elsewhere
but can't see them although there are quite a few other Rxx types .

Buy a 160 watt CFL, that should give about the same amount of light as a
40W lightbulb.

Well, I admit it's probably still going to be a bit dim compared to a
40W lightbulb, probably best to go for a 500W model.

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
bulbs with non-spots, and R40 sounds like a prime candidate for this,
with a candle or golfball.

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