Candescent replacement lamp

[John Blunden]

We have dusk to dawn Hi-Lo PIR outside lights installed 14 years ago. They use incandescent lamps.
These lamps have now failed and of course new ones are no longer available. I've tried an e27 dimmable led lamp but that's not working. Are there any e27 led bulbs we can use? We could replace the whole unit but as we've got 7 around the house that would be an expensive option.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi - it may be the controller is busted, just saying. Here’s another source of incandescent lamps as well ...

18watt ES E27 Screw cap Clear Equivalent To 23watt - The Lightbulb Co. UK

These efficient and powerful Status Halogen Golfball lamps are designed for domestic lighting, and are a direct replacement for existing E27

Many thanks!
Never considered halogen.
Now ordered 18w from Toolstation, only £0.98.
I'll post how I'm getting on with this.
I'm not a lover of halogen and in the process of changing our halogen down lights to led but just 18w shouldn't be too un eco friendly.

Halogen are lower wattage than the equivalent incandescent GLS lamps.
What were the original lamps wattage?
