On Saturday I bought a new ceiling light fitting - it has 5 x 40watt G9
(Halopin) Bulbs in slender cylindrical glass shades. The frosted shades are
moulded (cast) onto a threaded metal ring.

Since Saturday it has spent most of its time dimmed to 25%.

Today I found that 3 of the shades have significant cracks in them.

I assume that that the crack were not there when you put it up!

We spent ages choosing the fitting and we like it.

Personaly i would take it back to get a replacement if i liked it so
much.

Do you think I may have a bad batch and should accept a replacements with a
contingency of spares - or return it to the shop for my money back and start
searching over again?

Get a replacement and tell the manager that if the same problem occurs
you must have a refund in full.

Good luck mate
