[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 559036, member: 20838"] I've never seen the round peg type so every day is a school day. I've only seen the oval peg which was an s14s for the twin single-contact caps or s14d for the single oval dual-contact cap in the middle of the fitting. The oval peg lamps are still available in LED variants like Osram LEDInestra but I doubt they'd be interchangeable with the round peg fitting you have which I'm guessing is Cromptons own version. The only reasonable option is to replace the fitting with something more modern and more energy efficient that will last probably 6 months rather than the 60 years the old fitting probably worked for.
