Very pretty,if it feels hot,switch to 75 watts.I am also stocking up on reg.bulbs.When some bueracratic commitee says I have to use a certain thing, gets my back up.And as for more money to use the regular,it`s my money.When people have 1 of the swirly ones explode above your head,showering glass everywhere as I did about a year ago,then maybe a lot will realize the old ways are better.

I was told in a store (Home Depot? Lowe's?) that because of the mercury problem, those bulbs will be phased out and replaced with something less dangerous. No idea when, though. Isn't it dumb that in addition to the danger of broken glass (if they break), we have to worry about mercury ... ?

I'm thinking of getting some 75 or even 60 watt bulbs for now. and the newer bulbs have gas in them that is bad for the environment. you can't toss them into our regular garbage. irritating.

I suggest it be named the light of Damascus!

I love your lamp we just bought a couple of hanging lamps similar in style I call them the tiffany lamps we now have one in the dining room and one over the island in the kitchen I'll post photos of them later if I can. Our light's however say not to use anything over 60 watts, and NOT to use those new bulbs as they get too hot. I'd love to have that lamp lol

I'm with the others that are stockpiling the old style lightbulbs I've seen a lot of bad press about these new ones, our recycle dept here in the community won't take the new ones to be disposed of so what are we supposed to do with them.

Nice lamp .. and one has to do what one has to do !!
