That's a standard E5 fitting, also known as a Lilliput Edison Screw (LES).

I said that, isn't LES an E10? Not sure though how E numbers relate.

The E10 is a Miniature Edison Screw (MES)

I think it's over there. *gestures vaguely*

You would think he would just turn it on.

Thanks for the replies! I didn't even think to look underneath for codes etc. Blonde moment I guess!

It's an Ikea Stranne lamp, and the bulbs are 12v .9w - there is an ebay seller selling the actual bulbs, at £14 for 5. These are second hand, so not ideal. Now I know what I'm looking for I stand a better chance of finding some replacements. Cheers all

I remember those bulbs from my youth which is about the limit of my contribution to this thread.
