    I am trying to find a safelight to fit the light socket in my bathroom. It is the smaller socket size (1/2" maybe?) and is the type that is a strip containing six bulbs in the strip. Is there a safelight made that will fit this socket? I looked for an adapter at the local home supply store and didn't find one. Or would a red christmas light work? Freestyle carries a red bulb but it is the larger socket. Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,
    G

    hi there ---

    i don't have an exact answer 4-u, but you might contact the folks at http://www.topbulb.com/ they have every kind of bulb you can think-of ( discount prices!) if they dont have what you R looking for ( or the adapter ) they might be able to give you a lead on who might have it ...

    good luck -

    If you have an outlet for a shaver in the bathroom use that with one of those spring clamp utility lights, clamp it on a shelf or mirror and go to work.
