The original was a #55 lamp. A #47 lamp won't put out enough light to adequately illuminate your dial.
I prefer to use a high output LED lamp such as the following from Pinball Life (you'll want the warm white to mimic the color of the original incandescent):

These are kind of difficult to get into the lamp holder since they are short (no lens), but worth the effort as they are somewhat brighter than the #55.
Of course you'll have to get an original dial lamp holder. The rounded "funnel" end of the original holder does make a difference in properly illuminating the dial.
