I'm looking for some light bulbs to fit a lamp purchased overseas, which has the 7/8-inch dual-pin bayonet base as found in the UK and many former English colonies, i.e. Australia, South Africa. I need to keep this type of base as the shade mounting setup requires the thinner diameter - all of the other lamps from this source have been swapped to US-style sockets and bulbs. I'm trying to run it in the US on 110-120 volts, probably around a 100W would be ideal.
Any ideas on where to find this in the US? If not, will a UK-spec 220 volt/100W bulb work (it is after all just a big "light-emitting resistor"!), or will it just glow dimly?
