I can find a dictionary definition which doesn't mention bulbs (is that
daffodil or tulip by the way?). So what?

Chandelier is a French word, named for the fact that it holds candles. The
English word is candelabrum. Would you expect a candelabrum to hold electric
light bulbs?

Thanks Mary,

I meant an electrical chandelier with light bulbs - and as just an
assembler, as you so beautifully pointed out,

My pleasure :-)
