Right you brain boxes,

Light bulbs

I need some of the economy ones which aren't too tall, so they don't stick out above the side lights in the bedrooms. The only ones I can find are too tall.

Any recomendations. There are 14 side lamps in the B&B

Ikea has loads of different shapes and sizes, if you have one anywhere near you.

What is the fitting and what length are you looking for? I will have a look at what we have in work.

The fitting is a normal bayonet.

I went into homebase and B&Q and measured every bulb and lightshade, and the measurement from the frame to the top of the shade was the same. The bulbs are phillips 6watts I think(replace 40).

The shades are the regular coolie type, nothing that out of the ordinary.

Thanks for looking.

The nearest Ikea takes me 2 1/2 hour to get to.

From the round thing on the shade, that goes over the fitment, to the top it is 4 3/4" or 12 cm.

The lighting shop near the bus station in Barnstaple does a really big range. We got some from them to replace candle style bulbs which would probably do the trick for you.
