Understand - they are bit fussy to assemble and tucked up behind the latch striker plate (the silver coloured mental bracket)

Have a read of this

Globe / bulb is a 5W often referred to a C5W or if you prefer Osram language it's a 6418.
I swapped mine out for a LED

Thanks, i had bought one of those switches as mine never had it since ive owned it as there was some munted crap in there. Once i realised the bulb goes into the back of the new switch i bought it was straight forward. Also realoem threw me as the bulb shown is wrong
