Help me find these!

Sometime last year I bought a couple of these white, plastic, bell-like thingies with the idea of using them for light fixtures. Well, I finally have a use for them, but I need more than two. Trouble is, I can’t remember what they are or where I bought them, and I can’t find them anywhere.

My first thought was that I had gotten them from Michael’s, but if they had them before they don’t have them now. I’ve also tried Beverly’s and Yardage Town (craft and fabric shops) and hardware stores. No luck. As you can see in the photo below, they have a large round hole inside, which narrows to a smaller opening at the top. A 5mm LED fits perfectly inside. Does anyone here recognize this thing, and know where I can get more of them?

Ray - those look very similiar to the end on the cord pulls on some of the venetian blinds in our house. Not sure where you could buy them separately. try Ace Hardware online.

Ray,

Also look in the lighting aisle, they might be the ends of chain pulls for lights.

I’m thinking the same as Steve. Try Home Depot or Lowes in the hardware areas under specialty - or the blinds isle.

And please, try and remember you are getting OLD and need to write things like this down when you buy them :smiley: [Wish I could learn to do that]

I remember them…you have your findings posted here I believe …If you didn’t dump any of your pictures here I’m pretty sure you have it posted somewhere here Ray. Was it in the drug store thread maybe? It was after the conversation on portier’s I think…ask Hollywood bet he remembers

Ray,

Go to a Michael’s or Hobby Lobby.
