I bought this light and the matching 3 pendant light. It does not matter what type of bulbs I put in....they would burn out with in a week or I had 3 shatter on me. The first time it shattered my son turned the switch on and the bulb exploded. The next time the light wasn't even on and it exploded and the 3rd time I just replaced a burnt light with a new bulb, turned the switch on and it exploded. I ended up taking them both down and buying new lights
