Need "short" LED Candelabra Bulbs

Hi, all. Not sure if this is the best place for this, but hoping some folks have some suggestions.

I put a new light fixture in the dining room. It has five sockets and each is covered by a frosted glass "chimney". I can put incandescent bulbs in it, but the 60W limit for each socket is going to limit me to 300W total which will not give off enough light for the room. LED bulbs that are 100W equivalent are perfectly fine to use since they are only ~8W each and well below the wattage limit for each socket. But... I can't find any that DON'T stick out above the chimney by a fair amount.

The shortest bulbs I have been able to find measure 3.8" tall (total height) and stick out at least half an inch. Does anyone know where I might be able to find bulbs that meet the following specs:

- 2700K
- 100W equivalent (LED - 8W)
- Dimmable
- ~1000 lumen per bulb
- Candelabra base
- 3.5" total height or less
