Ok, you're forgiven (this time only).

Old office fan with light fixture, one single 150W
Halogen, 18 years old, fails. New weenie fixture made impotent by
leftist rules takes 3 x 40W incandescent... strange, eh?


Assuming you mean a ceiling fan with co-axial lumiere,
try fittin the old lumiere to new fan, AIUI it's a standard thread.


My very first thought. Doesn't fit :-(


The eco-leftist commie liberal green rules are for your own good. It
saves energy by requiring you to buy 3 times as many fixtures, 3 times
as many lamps, and pay 3 times as much for them. You're going to save
energy even if it costs you extra cash. Think of it as part of job
creation.


More likely some designer decided that the three smaller globes would
allow a more streamlined package, possibly this was a compromise after
a T9 was ruled out on cost.

how about 60W T9? (ring shaped rluorescent tube) might fit in the
existing package.


Under consideration. "Globe" is literally hemisphere, 8" diameter x
4" deep.
