MR16 is likely

I have no way of knowing if these are replacement shades. Don't think so, but it's possible. I wonder if your 7" shades diffuse (is that the right word) better than my 13" (with the same bulb). With mine there is all that extra space that doesn't get lit looks a little weird. I'm guessing your bulb fills the whole space. I'd love to see a picture of yours!

Joe, I would click my heels with glee over the "excuse" to purchase fabulous reproduction bulbs to show off that chandelier. Check out the link & give the friendly folks at Rejuvenation a ring if you haven't done so already. They have been fabulously helpful to me over the years. I've seen fixtures like yours (one still in use in my husband's grandmother's home when it was sold a couple years ago) and in fact I have the original light bulb with my grandmother's entry fixture with the little tip, still works. My dad presented it to me saying "sometimes you just have to build obsolescence into a product, light bulbs used to work until someone broke them but no one made money that way!" Reproduction bulbs offer simplicity, romance, and "authenticity." When electricity was new, folks showed off their light bulbs and admired them for the wonders they truly were. The light was dimmer then, the look and mood so different than if you put a spanking new bulb from a big box store. Your grandparents' original chandelier in the dining room begs for princess treatment! Here is a link that might be useful: carbon filamont light bulbs (Rejuvenation)

Another CFL hater here. One was broke in our basement and I wasn't thrilled. You know, we have CFL bulbs in our chandelier over the table. They're very warm/yellow and I forget which ones there were. I do remember we needed another box and we bought a different kind by accident the light looked almost bluish white in the globe! I'm wondering if that was the cool or the daylight. I can't remember what we have even if I needed to replace one. What are they getting rid of the old bulbs? To be "green"? Gosh, I hate that overused phrase. Bulbs filled with mercury are so green dontcha think?
