The chimneys on this fixture are actually made of wax, (with a large "Do Not Overlamp" sticker on each lampholder) The stupid thing weighs about 85 pounds. It has 4 little downlights that barely shed any light on the table surface. The pallet that this monstrosity was shipped on probably was more expensive than the chandelier in my dining room...S ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif)

Did we have a picture around of a fixture that looked like a big Beer Glass?
I was looking for it to add here, but couldn't seem to locate it ,,,
Anyone remember that?

Do you lose your taste as you get richer?

Found it ... Also from Electure: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/Forum/Images/Beerglasstoo.JPG) (Very elegant), and still won't hold beer. It'll leak.

TXSPARKY WROTE: Do you lose your taste as you get richer? Dude, that's assuming you had ANY taste to begin with!!!! I think the fixture would look great if I owned an ultra-chic restaurant/bar in SoHo, Chelsea or Greenwich Village. And I'd probably lamp it with real candles from the dollar store... Would I put it in a house? Err...no. Especially not a house styled like what I see here. It's too bad becasuse the surrounding room look nice....and very old fashioned (which is what I like anyway). Check out the trim on the ceiling, the staircase, the paneling over the fire-place, etc.

Does having lots of money make you any dumber? (I wouldn't know, 'cause I've never had too much) Bill, I forgot about that beer glass. More Smoke and Mirrors. It was from Italy, so that alone increased it's value tremendously. (I just found out I'm going to the same place tomorrow...to hang a light fixture) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif) It's been a coupla months since I've been there...S

Electure, That's a pretty cool beer glass light fitting. What more could you want?. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/smile.gif)

Trumpy, Sadly, the beer glass light was actually supposed to be another fancypantscustom "decorator" light fixture, and wasn't intended to be thought of as a beer glass. To my recollection they were about $300 or $350 each, and a real pain to install. I sent this picture in a year or 2 ago. Bill and Joe found it archived somewhere and put it in this thread..
