An electric gaslight simulative for installation in an existing light fixture by merely screw threading the simulative into an existing light bulb socket after a conventional light bulb has been removed therefrom thereby converting the light fixture into a light which produces a glow or illumination quite similar to that produced by an actual gaslight and having external physical appearance characteristics simulative of an actual gaslight. The simulative includes an adapter constructed of insulative material having a screw threaded brass cap on one end thereof for insertion into the existing light bulb socket with a smaller light bulb socket being mounted on the adapter and receiving a generally cylindrical light bulb that telescopes into a generally cylindrical, closed end mantle of glass cloth or similar material with the mantle being supported removably from the adapter body and being supported by a wire frame with both the mantle and wire frame being removable to enable replacement of the elongated cylindrical light bulb. The open end of the mantle is provided with a reinforcing metallic foil tape bonded thereto with the open end of the mantle and tape being received telescopically into a peripheral groove formed in the body of the adapter.

An electric gaslight simulative for threaded engagement with a light bulb socket in an electric light fixture comprising an adapter socket having a threaded conductive cap for threading into a light socket, said adapter socket including a body of insulative material on which the cap is mounted, a conductive light bulb socket smaller than the socket in the light fixture mounted on said body in electrical contact with the cap, a central conductive member mounted in the body and extending into the smaller socket from the opposite end of the body in insulated relation to the cap to energize a light bulb screwed into the smaller light socket, a mantle mounted on the body in enclosing relation to a light bulb in the smaller socket and a supporting wire frame connected to the body and extending alongside the mantle and supporting the outer end of the mantle to simulate a gaslight when the light bulb within the mantle is energized.
