I just had the same problem yesterday!! What a trip, to find your question, after going through so much aggravation just yesterday myself!! I do believe being that there only a few years old, that they haven't quite made the smaller ones yet...If they have you must have to buy them in a special store, such as maybe a "Hardware Store" or look on Yahoo's Yellow Pages, for your nearest Hardware Store and let your fingers do the walking, so you dont waist gas driving all the way down there to only find out that they haven't made them yet.. I'd call anyone and everyone to see who carries them before making a trip down there, first. I just went ahead and took out my old bulb from my dining area, and put the one I intended to put in my bedroom lamp there, in the dining area instead, so that way it still will be of use!! I'm going to start doing all of my lamps and lighting area's with these types of bulbs, from now on!! And as soon as I can I will most likely go and buy a different lamp because these bulbs do fit lamps, I have one in my living room lamps, two of them!! I do beleive its just the size of the lamp that we need to be concerned about.. So, I'm going to go and get my bedroom another sized lamp so that these bulbs will fit it, you know. Good luck to you!! They will cut your bill in half almost, my Mom says anyway!! So this is great news, to be using these types of bulbs!! For everyone who's participating anyway!! Smile!

If you can bear to go into IKEA, they have several types and sizes there. But check the size of the socket so you get what will fit your lamps.
