The golfs that I've seen use normal amber bulbs, but have a reflecting mirror in front of, and in the shape of the globe. So the full light is reflected backwards and off the mirror surface of the light fitting.

I'm thinking of ordering some LED replacement bulbs from the US, & giving those a try.
