energy saving candle bulbs + candle drips

[mjulian]

Can anyone tell me where I can buy Candle Drips [after asking around, I have just discovered the correct term!] which are large enough to fit over the new energy saving candle bulbs? I bought candle drips for the original 60w candle bulbs in John Lewis but they do not stock any other size. To clarify, a candle drip is the piece of white plastic tube which looks like a candle and which hides the bulb fitting. Many thanks in advance.

I think u will find you cant as yet,they were made to fit a standerd bulb and not a energy saving bulb.
These new bulbs are causing many problems with certain fittings i would use normal bulbs in these fittings.
There has been many right ups about these energy bulbs.
They produce more waste to make and they lose there life span if you keep turning them off.
Plus they are causing many fitting problems

I always thought you put the candle drip over the bayonet cap fitting before you put the bulb in.
