What type of bulb is this?

[Marvo]

If it's got a dimmer then you just need to find a 15w dimmable LED as a replacement. There is however a possibility that the dimmer may be unstable with the smaller load.... it will be trial and error.

 

[pirate]

Yes Marvo...but of course the dimmer was built long ago, so for a dimmable LED trial and error will be the way...
or, contrary to current thinking, a simple incandescent or halogen will be fine. The world will not end...

 

[Marvo]

Can you still get incandescants? Not a problem in my neck of the woods but I thought they'd been phased out already where you are.

(taps nose with forefinger...)
yes, of course you can get incandescents...
I have 100 standard 60W ones in my garage.
I also have 40 GU10 halogens, 35/50W, free to a good home.
Sorry...I have about 35 of them, cos i supply all the old dears in my block with the odd one when they have a failure...
Seems fair, to use up the stock, no?

I thought you lived on a pirate ship you are deluding the image.

I live only part-time aboard...the candle-lights for navigation give off such smoke that i have to stay ashore for some time...
Still, they are better than burning tallow, which we used to do in years gone by...
Happy daze!

It's a quartz halogen bulb. That shape was common 20 years ago and they came in both clear and white class in various standard wattages, 60, 100, 150w. They claimed to be 25% more efficient than standard lamps. So probable equivalent to 180w incandescent.

Look for LED equivalent of 180w. But the dimmer probably won't work.

Can you get LED bulb that is equivalent to 180w incandescent?

 

[telectrix]

you can get daffodil bulbs that are.

 

[suffolkspark]

I'd give it a little tap in a bowl and see what's in it

 

[thuyln2]

It seems to be Edison incandescent light bulb

 

[DefyG]

Looks like lamps sold as 'Halogena' but cant remember the manufacturer (although others copied). Unlikely to be still available even in the lower wattages as sure to be a LED equivalent/replacement out there.

OP, remember the rule that whenever you take a photograph, you should always place a 50p piece next to the object as a size reference. I'm sure that's in the regs actually.

and what happens when they change the 50p piece, like they done with most other coins?

 

[littlespark]

They already changed the 50p. It used to be a little bigger than it is now.
Kept an old one just for photograph size comparisons. Confuses some people no end.
