6 month review

Husband installed this in under an hour. He’s handy but not an electrician. Looks exactly as pictured. 8 separate bulbs create a lot of light! 

We initially used 60W bulbs that burnt out in less than 6 months. This might be average but the same bulb in other fixtures have lasted us much longer. We are trying 35W (as pictured) to see if they burn out slower. 

The metal screwthread piece that attached the globe surround to the fixture itself can become loose and then unable to be screwed on to the fixture. We learned this painfully. Our simple fix is a bottle of non-flammable adhesive from JB Weld to re-adhere metal piece to globe. In my humble opinion, the manufacturer is using a subpar adhesive in this application. But the fix is easy enough. 

It’s beautiful, lights well, and we get compliments any time someone sees it. Would recommend with those thoughts above in mind.
