Default Screwfix low energy bulb sizes

om...
Does anyone know how long the 'candle' bulbs are in Scewfix's range.

I have a lot of wall lights in my house with conventional (40w
bayonet) candle shaped bulbs with little lightshades that sit on the
bulb. I want to replace them all if possible but if the low energy
ones are too tall they will look silly.

I had the same problem but found Philips (among others) do a 9W (40W equiv)
bulb that has a much smaller glass envelope than a conventional bayonet GLS
bulb.They are from the ambiance range. I replaced all my walllight bulbs
with these just over a year ago as Tescos were then selling them for around
£3.65 each.

You can see how they look:-
