It's only a shame that the areas of the house with the greatest
lighting demand have fittings which will only accept more standard
bulbs. Especially as the kids leave these on all the time...


What sort of bulbs do these fittings take?


Smaller reflectors or candle bulbs mostly. I think low-energy
reflectors don't come in small sizes and the candle equivalents won't
mount horizontally due to their weight or vertically without protruding
right out of the shade. Ok, the last complaint is aesthetic...
