The majority of pygmy lamps tend to be 15 watt. Your nearest electrical wholesalers should be able to sort you out there;)

the screw fitting are: -

Small = SES (Small Edison Screw)
Large = ES (Edison Screw)

I recently had trouble sourcing Pigmy ES bulbs and ended up using Golf Ball Bulbs (Purchased from Ebay in mixed pack for about £8.00)
