At present I have the two stud bayonet type base (NOT pins).
What I'm looking for is an adapter that will allow me to use an incandescent bulb.
Something short of replacing the base altogether... but even that is on the table.
I had a halogen floor lamp in the 90s. It worked well but got very hot. Then when the bulb burnt out and I replaced it, it never worked well again. I remember reading that you can't touch the bulb because the oils in your fingers will ruin the bulb but perhaps they worked that out by now and I'm sure you have a different system.
As mentioned I tried an LED bulb: https://www.batteriesplus.com/light-...reflector/gu10
It's fine (no heat) but only if used as the track light the fixture is meant to be;
entirely too bright for a dining room table.
So the fixture is getting moved to the hall where it belongs and put to work
(with a dimmer) lighting up the brag wall of pictures there.
And I'm back to finding a DR ceiling fixture that suits.
