    If your looking to cover the bulbs the answer is no, you cannot cover over a bulb in such a way. It can cause it to overheat and can burst.

    I would look into the type of bulb your using. There are hundreds of styles and shapes and designs for just about every bulb made. Just do not put anything over or in close contact with the bulbs on your fixture.

    Yes, you can. Have you looked into satin wrapped or spun silk wrapped bulbs ? They're specifically for chandeliers with exposed bulbs.

    Becky, Here is a pic....I put shades over the bulbs and I hate it. I do not like how it looks. I want to hang crystals from the chandelier and I wanted to do something with the bulbs.

    Thank you for adding a photo of your chandelier Deborah.

    Bob/Woodbridge is correct. You should never put anything directly over an existing bulb. However I think what you were talking about is bulbs that come wrapped as Winnie suggested. ...»

    Candle covers....

    Wrapped light bulbs....

    If you're looking to add crystals, bobeches would be nice as well as adding linked crystal "chains". You can find bobeches here...

    I'm sorry, but I can't find an online source for the crystal beads to drape from arm to arm for you.

    There are also bulbs for chandeliers that flicker like a flame.

    I've seen bulbs that look like they glitter just like the LED Holiday string lights that have the fresnel type glass. Unfortunately, that's when I see them, around the holidays. Here are two spots you can check out.

    This one might be what you are looking for.

    Make sure the base is the same size you need.

    Deborah, Becky is correct, 1000 Bulbs is a great resource for the satin wrapped bulbs. Sadly, their photo is not the best. You might also look into candle covers. Between the wrapped bulbs and base covers, it can make a huge difference. Here is a blog that shows exactly what I'm talking about: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/beeswax-can...

    Winnie, I saw that too and searched and found where to buy the covers. Check my first link above.
