What type of bulb will fit into this light socket

[MattHandsworth]

Hi guys, I am a DIY homeowner and the light in my bathroom went out. I stupidly threw away the bulb without checking the connector but I noted down the model number. It was an osram dulux el longlife 20w/41-827 but I can't for the life of me find it online. I have attatched 2 pictures of what the light socket in my bathroom looks like and I was wondering if anyone knew what type of bulb will fit in it. I was thinking a 2 pin bulb but I am not sure. Thanks if anyone can help.

Looks like you have broken the fitting by the looks of it. It is a standard B22 batten holder.

Are you talking about the black plastic casing? It's been like that for years. If it's not that, then have I broken something else? Thank you for informing me about the fitting, I am wondering however if I need to call an electrician in to swap out the fitting/socket due to the damage.

Looks like a standard b22 bayonet socket, but as @westward10 points out, that’s broken. There’s no plastic for the pins on the side of the bulb to hook onto

A new one wont cost much.

Ah ok, thanks very much for the info, I will look into a replacement. I feel like I may have broken off more of the plastic when I took it out, taking a second look at it, it wasn't ever that badly chipped.

They sometimes get brittle with heat/age and then crack.
