![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/Forum/Images/9000light2.JPG) Is there anyone here that can justify paying $10,000 to have this / / hanging over your dining room table??
(the fixture alone was >$9K)

From what I can see of the rest of the house, it is probably the equivalent of me spending about $15.00 for a "chandelier".
BTW, is this an electric fixture with "faux" candles ?

Fashionably accessorized with matching end table, dining room table and beer mug. ![[Linked Image from 65.108.216.53]](http://65.108.216.53/elec/tables_mug.jpg)

Translation: "Let's throw together $50 worth of stuff and give it a high-fallutin' description in the hope that some sucker will pay $9000 for it." Looks like their approach worked! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif)

Only $10,000 for the light? That's a great price!What do you mean "I must have GFCIs in the kitchen and bathrooms?" Those things are expensive!

...S No, because none of us here are drug dealers or big-time CEOs and have that kind of money to spend. As for me, a standard 4" box-mount porcelain lampholder in the middle of the room will suffice! (Anything is better than the pigtail hanging there currently) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) The person who owns this house would probably think nothing of flying the Concorde (if it still existed) for a weekend in Paris.

What do you mean "I must have GFCIs in the kitchen and bathrooms?" Those things are expensive! Trouble is they can't have their cocktail-set friends over to gloat about the stuff that hides in the panel. Just imagine it: "Daaaaarling...... What ABSOLUTELY deviiiiiine GFIs you found for this little cottage of yours. Wherever did you get them?" Personally, I wouldn't want this monstrosity hanging over my dining table even if it cost only $10 -- It reminds me of some of the things I've seen hanging from the walls of medieval English castles!

Looks pretty flash, but I wouldn't be paying THAT kind of money for something I could weld up, in my workshop!. BTW, is this an electric fixture with "faux" candles ? You'd sort of hope it was electric, imagine replacing ALL them candles and having the Wax falling on your plate. What are "faux" candles?.
