It would depend what type of light fitting really - Table Lamp/Standard Lamp/Ceiling Light ?

What material you wanted etc.

I would think a glass shade would be the only answer.

If it's a glorious shaped bulb that needs to be on display, you're best looking at a specialist lighting company.

A modern low energy light bulb equivalent to 100w is only 20w so should be ok in virtually any shade.

1581960 It is not the light, it is the heat a traditional 100 watt bulb gives out.
A 100 watt filament bulb will give so much heat it will scorch most current day shades, or even start a fire.
