If I was doing a true period restoration I would put the combo lights back in. They are readily available in a restored condition. I just fell in love with these early electric fixtures –especially unrestored. This one is by far the most elaborate of all the vintage lights I have. This is in the formal dining room. <BR/><BR/>Suzanne,<BR/><BR/>I’ve seen those reproduction light bulbs. They are expensive and I’m afraid they won’t last too long. Right now I have 60 watt bulbs in there but I might switch to 40 watt.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1124764521238450122005-08-22T19:35:00.000-07:002005-08-22T19:35:00.000-07:00Oh, forgot to mention - Rejuvination and also Van ...Oh, forgot to mention - Rejuvination and also Van Dykes sell those repro light bulbs that look like the original Th.Edison bulbs.
