It’s getting harder and harder to find the “old style” bulbs nowadays …. Can Halogen bulbs work in a dim bulb tester ? they do have a filament , but it’s a different set up in the bulb ….

Give “discountcdrom” a try on eBay, he’s based in the UK. I’m not wanting to recommend any seller and don’t wish to break any rules. Here I found a range of GLS lamps in both BC and ES. I hope this is helpful to everyone.

Been thinking about this. Worst case might be to add a second socket and use two 120 volt bulbs in series. Probably the cheapest solution.
