ANTIQUE/VINTAGE LIGHT FIXTURES, THOSE MODERN LIGHT BULBS = PROBLEMS

Though they have been on the scene for a years now, those new energy efficient light bulbs we're all being forced to use are posing unique---and sometimes dangerous problems--for those of us who own vintage or antique lighting.

Johanne Yakula of FROM TIMES PAST addresses the issue and provides some possible solutions: http://bit.ly/1d6le3o

UDPATED: Fortunately copies of SOME of the old Edison bulbs are being made today but remain very pricey....you can also get some of the old fashioned globe light bulbs, for the moment, at Home Depot.

  1. We have the hanging lamp shown in the picture in avacado green. We have had to order special tube bulbs you can't find any more from a hardware supply house in Florida (old new stock) and we scored a half dozen bulbs. It's ridiculous the hoops you have to jump through these days to save something from the landfill.
