Answers:    Light bulbs are pretty much international, simply the names are different.
Look at the light fitting. If it have a rim with two sideways L shape cutouts, it is a BAYONET socket. If it is only as widespread as your finger, it is a SMALL BAYONET.
If the fitting has screw threads, it is an EdisonScrew fitting. These also come in everyday and small.
If you are in doubt,take the light with you to the shop. Make sure the bulb you get is not so big that it touches and overheats any cover over it.
