ive got an inspection lamp (240v) normal size bulb rough service, with a bayonet cap but i want to put a 12v bulb in it , i cant find one any where , do they exist so i can cut the plug off the lead and put croccodile clips and run it off a car battery, so basically i need a 12v 50 watt bayonet capped bulb? cheers

On a recent trip to the US, I was quite surprised to lots of 12V Compact Fluorescents for sale in WalMart - in the caravan / camping / fishing (the sell *everything* in that shop!) section.
Don't know if they're available in the UK, but ought to be more robust and would greatly extend the battery life.

Fluorescent tubes are not a good idea for viweing moving parts.

They cause letters to get mixed up - "viewing"
