Bayonet is the standard, but Edison screw bulbs are also used.

"Way too dim & in need of replacement" seems to be the norm in my place. Not just the bulbs - that probably goes for me too...
Also, they're phasing out the old style globes and some companies are now only making the energy saving ones.

Re: Domestic light bulbs
We are as we have accumulated a drawer full of energy saving ones over the years, keep getting them free in the post and they last years. Other option is to give them away and buy in Aus but far easier to bung in the container as don't take up much room.
