John Hill:
I think a suitable lamp support would be a neat lathe project! :coffee:

John Swift:
in the past I've seen both 25v and 50v baynet cap gls bulbs used on machines
one bulb  used tha same bc22 base as in the domestic 240v bulbs and the   other bulb had offset pins 
 
and yes I must admit , like  Stuart , I pluged one into 240v socket by mistake   
 
the machines  LO-VO lighting transformers had a 440v / 240v primary and  could be linked for centre tapped 25v or 50v  options  ( maximum of 25v w.r.t. earth)

 provided the 25v bulbs fit the same socket as the 240v bulbs you could mount a standard pendant socket through a 28.5mm hole
or a brass lampholder and threaded adaptor as used on some lampstands

  E.S. to  B.C. adaptors are another option

MrFluffy:
If you buy a new repo one, you'll find out why the old ones hold their money so well.

The new stuff wont stay clamped for any real length of time and are very flimsy with hollow rivets for pivot joints etc and require the holding clamps graunching down to actually clamp them still which can damage them, while a antique one can be positioned and locked and itll just stay there.
£20? your lucky!, they sell the antique jeilde (anglepoise period equivalent) starting at about 80 here...

I had best luck with some flexineck desk lamps screwed to the wall behind the lathe and shining down onto it. I just drilled two holes in the base and screwed them to the wall through them :)
