...and replaced them with much nicer ones. I threw one of the two out. I did this not knowing she is a packrat and wants the 50 year old hideous not - even - working light fixtures. I only have one...what can I tell her happened to the other one?

ok, I take it she is old and batty. This helps things.
Simply say that a strange man was watching you from outside while you were getting changed.
Go into unnecessary detail about what he may have been thinking and your hypothetical response (from old lady perspective).
Use a rather florid term of phrase, you know the poop with pompous antiquety.
I cannot stress how important unneccessary detail is, such as whalebone corsets and panteloons and the suchlike.
Keep going till theres a dreamy quality in her eyes, indicating she's reminiscing back to a bygone era...
then quickly mention the lights, before exclaiming "the gussets fallen out of my breeches!"... then bail out real quick.
I hope this helps you.

Someone was accidentally swinging a bat in the house and the light fixture got in the way. It happens.

Tell her you don't know what happened to it. Maybe some other packrat stole it :)

If you don't mind lying tell her that you were eating lunch one day and one of them fell and broke so you had to through it out! Its as easy as that.

You left them both for one second and someone must have stolen one. (I'm not a very good liar) sorry.
