Mother’s kitchen light uses R63 bulbs. It is a fairly old unit so originally had incandescent bulbs and now LED. The trouble is R63 bulbs are typically about 100mm in length but they stick out of the lamp holder housing.

I thought about R50 bulbs but they seem to be ES14 and have a narrower beam angle.

I got some Asda LED bulbs, made by TCP, years ago that are shorter but one is on the way out and I can’t find a replacement. Any ideas on where some old stock might be hiding or another supplier?

Packaging from the current bulbs, note 87mm in height/length.

Thanks bought! Unfortunately only one available or I’d have bought some stock for when the rest inevitably fail.

I didn’t see there was only one in stock, shame.

The packaging you posted shows TCP as the manufacturer, the one just bought on eBay is also by TCP.
