Anyone know where to get a brighter bulb for this dinosaur or have an idea for replacing it with LED or something?

I’m having zero luck figuring it out on my own.

It’s an LW Scientific, model: Achiever

    The base looks like a Type S, as far as replacing it with an LED in a DIY fashion the leads are plain old 110v AC. You don’t want to put much more than 5w of LED in there, so you can probably get away with a basic capacitive dropper circuit that matches the LED you choose. Someone mentioned a starter, that is in the bulb base, not the socket on the microscope on these.
