Use #47 instead of #44 lamps to save artwork

The #44 looks the same as the #47 but is brighter, draws more current and runs hotter. Over time its heat fades backglass paint, warps plastics and scorches bumper caps. Swapping to #47 protects the art and, on solid-state games, lightens the load on the power supply and lamp connectors.
