[vcf-midatlantic] OT: narrow LED flood bulb

[Dave Wade]

"R12" is a "glass" size and may have several different base sizes. So this one:-

has a BA15D, that is a 15mm bayonet with a double contact, but I note others on EBAY with a BA15A so single pin contact.
In the UK I have seen these with Edison Screw...
... so buy your bulb, and then get a suitable base...
