Spiral bulb sizes

[Skyline]

I need a new bulb like this one....

Problem is the last one I bought was a little to small.

How do you find out if it's the large kind. That's the sort I'm after.

There's loads on ebay but none of them give the size

It's for this here.... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rocwing-Softbox-Continuous-Lighting-40x60cm/dp/B007Y5UCD4

When you say too small do you mean the fitting size?

If so it should say if it's E27 etc so you can get the right unit but I think the overall size is determined by its wattage?

Not fitting size. The size of the bulb and the white plastic base itself.

The last one I bought for it said it was E27 but it came up smaller. It's ok for the umbrella but not for the soft boxes as they need to be larger so they stick out the the bulb holder.

You need to look for the Wattage of the lamp, the higher the wattage the larger the lamp will be. look for one the same wattage as the one you want to replace or higher if you want it bigger and brighter.
