This comes shipped nice and tight.. none of the glass was damaged. 

It is not battery operated like some customers have mentioned. You do need to wire It yourself or have someone install it that is familiar with this sort of installation. 

You will need your own bulb.  60 watt or less long bulb preferred.
I purchased a yellow tinted bulb, this is clear glass fixture, so you don’t want to bright a bulb.

Enjoy!
