Oz must be a killer place to deal in lightbulbs! Do the local electrical
supply traders drive Rollses? ;-)

(250V instead of 220 on a bulb designed for 220 will make it very bright
but it will only run for a few months at best)

Did they have a special fixture or device to fix the light voltage somhow?
