    Hi all,

    I'm looking for a replacement bulb for my bedroom light. It's a weird one and I've been to every hardware/electrical store within my reaches but to no avail. I've attached a picture of it, hopefully someone out there knows where I can get one. I'm south of the river.

    Thanks!
    Kelvin

    Any DIY store should have them its a halogen bulb.
    Strange one to have in your bedroom though.
    They are normally in outdoor lights.

    there are 2 main typre of that halogen. one is 78mm long and the other is 117 mm long. the 78mm is mainly used in indoor light fittings and the 117 mm used mainly for exterior like in the pir light you might have outside your light.the 78 mm is less common and may not be stocked by most hardwares or stores
    we keep them but any decent electric wholesalers should have them.
    seeing that its for a bedroom ied imagine its a 60 watt 78mm.
