The builder installed a cheap standard (found in many closets) light in my pantry that has a glass globe that attaches with 3 screws. It is mounted on the wall, not the ceiling.
After 9 years, I came home and the globe had broken off and shattered everywhere. It was not loose as the neck that the screws attach to was intact still in the fixture.
My question is are these lights meant to be mounted on a wall or do I need a new fixture? It could have just been a fluke that it broke off after all this time, but I could see how hanging sideways would put stress on the glass.
