Thanks for all those responses. both helpful and hilarious.

especially love:

Someone (RF?) will be along with a photo of a multi-CFL light.

Saved him the trouble. To the OP this would light the room nice and bright.

going to send that now to the missus and tell her I've found the solution.

but seriously I think the

40W one might be the answer.

is that just a standard screw fitting? or something that will cost me a fortune?

It says it's ES.

Have you checked it will fit, given its overall dimensions?

Also it'll be heavy - what orientation is the lamp holder?

hmm... how about this one? it's quite cheap.

is 'Daylight' a kind of colour in the light? like more blue than 'Warm light'?

also, what is ES and BC? is that screw or bayonet?

cheers

Edison Screw.

Bayonet Cap.

As well as looking at the "daylight", "warm white" etc descriptions, see what colour temperature the lamps are.

does the dark colour on walls make it look dim with the light on?

Repainting walls with light colour would brighter the room, make a lot different.

well it's only a musterdy/yellowy colour. i really like it so i want to keep the colour.

but yes, it has been said we used too many darker colours for a dark room.

so i'll go with one of those cheaper, powerful, energy saving bulbs as i posted above.

thanks for all your help guys.
