Drats, one of my safe-lights died today and as I use a wet room and a dry room I need two... so... I unscrew my AP light casing and there is a simple 220v 110w bulb inside with no identification. Can someone guide me towards what type of bulb I should get to replace it and perhaps more importantly, what I shouldn't buy.

Many thanks

Joe

Sounds rather hefty. Sure it's not 10 or 11W?

Is anything written on the bulb or the base of the bulb? The fitting is likely a standard type. Likely, any similarly-sized (in terms of physical size and power rating) tungsten bulb will be just fine, as long as it fits. You could also substitute an LED light, in which case you may want to keep power down to ca. 1.5W.

I blew a bulb last week and replaced it with
S11 LED Bulb - 7.5 Watt Equivalent LED Globe Bulb - 27 Lumens SKU: E27-A8-G from Super Bright LED's.
Shipping was fast and so far it's looking good.
I bought the amber and the red version, to my eye the amber is brighter and at 4 feet I haven't seen any fogging, I'll update after I do a 20 minute coin test.
