Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! No, they aren't "compatible" as they're described as "E27", which I infer is a standard Edison screw. We have them in the UK, but the larger fittings are (standard) bayonet [wikipedia.org].
But.
Whimper.
In the process of verifying this, I discovered that as well as standard Edison screw (seemingly E27), and small Edison screw (seemingly E14), there is, horror of horrors, a medium Edison screw (E26).
And in the processes of trying to find a sustainable link, it turns out that there is an entire zombie hoard of Edison screw standards [wikipedia.org]. We're doomed.
