Hi there,

Thank you for your inquiry!

The candelabra requirement is in regards to the base of the bulb, not the length of the lightbulb. I would recommend using the shortest E12 Base/ Candelabra Base bulb you can find.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 1-800-448-1632 with any additional questions or assistance placing an order. We are always happy to help!

I have tried. They appear
To be the same length. Only difference is buying without the flame tip but that doesn’t make any real difference. Still sticks out.
I can’t be the only one with this issue.

Is it shiny chrome?

It matches chrome you would purchase for your sinks. Here’s a pic of mine. The best I could do. I wouldn’t purchase this again as the bulbs stick out too far and touch the metal fixture.

Thank you, I was going to buy two. Looking at it from underneath it looks like it needs more capiz shells. I can’t see your bulbs..did you find shorter ones?

I have high ceilings and didn’t consider that when I purchased as this was new construction...didn’t cross my mind when I ordered and the bathroom wasn’t even framed; so it looks like there isn’t enough length. I paid enough that it’s staying up there for awhile as it wasn’t returnable.
No. All candelabra are the same length.
