Make sure it's As with everything I install, I hung from and bounced on the blocking or mounting bracket that would hold the completed piece. It may look heavy, but it only weighs 107.5 lbs. I weigh 160lbs… 455 x 600 px (40 KB) 0 Comments	How it goes tog Each blown glass flower and ribbon, twists or “cork screws” in and out of the metal frame. They interlock to form a “physical” bond, or metal and glass” skeleton”. 789 x 600 px (60 KB) 0 Comments	VERY STRONG CON Each of these hundreds (thousands?) of interlocking physical connections are then glued together. The glass is never suspended by glue, but prevented from movement or “unlocking” if bumped or broken. 789 x 600 px (71 KB) 0 Comments
More Safety The inside of the lower dome, is “rubberized” with 50-year silicone rubber. If it were ever be broken by a foreign object, the rubber helps to hold the glass together. The interlocking... connections and glue, do the same for ribbons and flowers. 789 x 600 px (41 KB) 0 Comments	How to change a The three 150 watt type A-incandescent bulbs can be easily changed by holding the glass dome in place, then removing the glass and metal finial. 789 x 600 px (78 KB) 0 Comments	Change it The lower dome is then removed to gain bulb access. 789 x 600 px (86 KB) 0 Comments
