Information needed


Just got through replacing 5 fan lights ( 4 bulbs each )
Instead of having the regular screw type base, these ones, to my surprise, need bulbs with the candelabra type fitting.
Nowhere to be found here in Loreto. Does anyone know if they're available in La Paz or even Cabo ?
Found them on the net, but shipping cost was twice the price of the bulbs. Guy guaranteed delivery in 7 days, haha :lol:
Must have never, ever ventured in Baja.:no:
Picture of the recommended light follows. Need be 40 Watt though.

i saw an adapter at home depot in ensenada that adapts the small base to the regular lightbulb screw base

this may be an idea for future replacement bulbs:saint::saint:

Yes, they have them in La Paz....try PlomyBano (16th Sept) & El Arco (Abasolo, 1 block from CCC on Colima) for starters & if they don't have them, ask for the name of the specialty light shop whose name I never can remember & whose street location escapes me too!:lol: I just cruise around until I find them!:biggrin:
