What's the diameter? Is that a standard socket? Difficult to see without another object to compare to.

If that's standard, you're probably looking for incandescent spotlights.

look here for all the sizes/types - http://www.servicelighting.com/Flood-Spot-Incandescent-Light-Bulbs

Maybe that's a US size (considering it's 110VAC)?

Yes i think its US size

But how are they cold en is there a place to get them in Europe?
Because ordering in the US is expensive in shipping cost 
When I have time will ask the local hardware store maybe they can get them somewhere

First thing that comes to mind is "kopspiegel lamp"
so i simply translated bottom and googled it:

"bodemspiegel"

Website that came up:
http://www.aurora-kontakt.nl/lampen_kopspiegel.html (http://www.aurora-kontakt.nl/lampen_kopspiegel.html)

now only for the size, the threats looks not standard european
its between E14 and E27, never saw that..

but maybe the term bodemspiegel or onderspiegel helps in your search..

Isn't it just a simple reflector bulb?

Could it be an E17/E18 ?

Nice link found (German though)  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampensockel#Edisonsockel (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampensockel#Edisonsockel)

Further information: try searching for reflector lamp, R14, E17, intermediate base (means the same as E17) and/or 115/120V instead of 110V.

A 25W version is here : http://www.ebay.de/itm/5pcs-R14-Reflector-Flood-E17-Base-25W-120V-Light-Bulb-/290439821227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item439f8ff7ab (http://www.ebay.de/itm/5pcs-R14-Reflector-Flood-E17-Base-25W-120V-Light-Bulb-/290439821227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item439f8ff7ab)
