Your Light A Splode

This post is from from my other blog here

You know, Vibia should really market their whole exploding light shtick as a feature. Last week the second of our Vibia Nobel pendant lights in the kitchen literally exploded, this time much worse than the first one. Why was it worse? Well, because when it exploded the glass casing was actually on the light so not only did the entire wire catch on fire, but the glass shattered so loudly that it sounded like a gun went off and shards flew everywhere. Miraculously nothing and no one was hurt, but we had to make yet another call to Vibia to explain what happened. Funnily enough, I checked out the receipt and the light exploded one year plus one week after we bought it. Cursed warranty! But again, Vibia took it back with no questions and within a few days we had a brand new light, with vastly superior design, ready to install. I'm shocked these didn't burn down our house. They must be getting lots of complaints about their initial faulty design to replace these with so few questions asked…um, recall perhaps?

Fun with broken glass!

I like my wires burnt to a crisp…

That's weird. Have you contacted the Vibia Design to complain about their faulty lighting? If so, what did they say?
