I have a breakfast room with ten 40 watt flame tip incandescent bulbs. They
go in candle type wall fixtures from the 1920s. I am interested in replacing
them with a lower energy alternative. I have the rest of the house on warm
fluorescents, however, the torpedoes don't go with these wall sconces. If I
had art deco fixtures the torpedo style fluorescents would be great, but I
don't.
I have a living room with the same style fixtures, but I don't use that room
very often.
Does anyone know anything about flame tip LED bulbs with Edison bases (I
think that is the right type of base I am looking for) for houses.
I know it is not necessarily a big payback cost wise now, but I anticipate
higher prices in the future. Also, energy reduction is also a lot of
activities and, as you get one item off the list you can get on to the next.
Thanks
Ed

Ok when you say flame tip do you mean candle style bulbs ?
please also tell us whether these fittings have or could be fitted with
shades/frosted glass globes ?
By the way the payback for compact fluorescents will be very short if
these lights are used very frequently .

You don't have any information either.

Are you saying that the 10W (roughly 40W incandescent equivalent)
compact fluorescent lights won't work? Or is it that they won't
look right?
A quick froogle search found me these things...
