Buy a 160 watt CFL, that should give about the same amount of light as a
40W lightbulb.160 Watt???
Well, I admit it's probably still going to be a bit dim compared to a
40W lightbulb, probably best to go for a 500W model.
I think you can use PAR38 in place of R40, have a look here:

I don't know the details of the app, but I've often replaced spotlight bulbs with non-spots, and R40 sounds like a prime candidate for this, with a candle or golfball.

>>Unless I'm mistaken it would be many times too big.
It's just a wee Ikea lamp with an ES bulb so probably a golf or candle would do.
