I bought two of these and they have been up a month and have hardly used them http://www.homebase.co.uk/ProductDisplayTRK019?partNumber=311263. I have them on a dimmer according to the website thats ok. I noticed yesterday that 5 of the glass shades have now cracked I assume thats from the heat, is it generally expected that glass shades like this will crack a bit or not ?

Link not working...
as john says link doesn't work - perhaps homebase has had problems with this unit and has withdrawn it.
did you supply the bulbs or did they come with the unit?

Hi correct link is www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/store...ogId=1500000701&langId=-1&searchTerms=Corsica
The bulbs etc came with the unit, such a pain in the butt got to take to take both down now just so I can take them back. I was just going to bit the bullet and buy another unit so I can take the shades off that and replace the broken ones as less hassle than taking it down but I might just be throwing money down the drain.
Buy new fittings and swap the glass shades around.
Take back new fittings (with old shades on) and say product faulty and want money back.
Job done.

Did you exceed the wattage?
He used the bulbs supplied.
Does'nt mean they supplied the correct wattage.
This is very true however I am giving the OP the benefit of doubt and assuming the bulbs supplied do not exceed the maximum recommended (I'm sure it will state it somewhere on the packaging).
Yes ,40 watt maximum.
