Bayonet fitting light bulbs

Post by shanagarry »

Does anybody know if it is possible to buy light bulbs with bayonet fittings here in The Algarve and if so where, please?

Never seen them nor would I expect to as ES is the standard in Portugal.

You could try one of the shops that advertises imported English pies, tinned food, etc for sale. See the adverts in the News every week.

There used to be a lighting shop in Portimao old town, just near the church, and they sold bayonet lightbulbs, this was a couple of years back though, but worth a try eh ? good luck

Think you will find that shop has now closed down.

Even in the UK many new lights have the Euro screw fitting maybe our bayonet fitting will fade away in the years ahead.
