Tube lights

9 years ago

I've been looking for a suitable recessed lighted medicine chest for me 50's bathroom and I found one that I'm really interested in. It's captioned "50Ã¯Â¿Â½s Ultimate Ã¯Â¿Â½ Finger Pull & Tube Shades". I've looked at a lot of these cabinets and I really, really like these lights. Anyone familiar with them? Would I be able to find replacement "tube shades"? I can't figure out how to copy and post the picture, but you can look at it here: http://vintagebathroom.com/medicine-cabinets-mirrors/

Hi,
The "tube shades" are just referring to the glass tube that surrounds the light bulb and socket. Once you remove the glass tube, you'll find the light bulb that can be easily replaced. Hope that helps!

Yes, that does help. Hoping the light bulbs will be easy to find. I really like the glass tubes. They are very unusual, but not flashy or weird, if that makes sense.
