Are these sturdy/safe enough to use in horse stalls without danger of broken glass/bulb if a horse was to somehow contact them?

We have had them around the horses for a couple of years now, but not in their stalls. But they are very sturdy. I would certainly put them higher than a horse would normally reach.

I think they would be sturdy enough, the surround is good quality and sturdy. As mentioned they should be placed higher that what normal contact with a horse would be, glass breaks! These are sturdy fixtures though.

I would try very hard to keep the light out of reach of the horse, but it would take a great deal of force to brake the light. I hope this helps!

I have my lights all installed in horse stalls for over the last year. I used them to replace another type of light that the horses were always breaking. None have been broken to date, energy saving bulbs that are original, and they are on 24/7. GREAT PURCHASE!

Yes and no. If the finish gets chipped or scratched they will rust. However, if you keep the finish in-tact then you should be fine, and they certainly can handle the weight.

It should be ok. I use one in a collapsible light box for 3 to 4 each time and never have any issues. Just remember these are very large lamps. Here's the box we use. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0028K2TWM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1396835122&sr;=8-3π=SY200_QL40

They are made of glass. I don't think they'd take any significant impact without breaking.

Haven't tried it but they're quite sturdy. I don't think they'd break. I just put them in storage or I'd try it to be sure.

Absolutely, no problem at all. They are beautiful and tough. Arrived without any breakage. Very happy with purchase.

No, they will not break lamps. They could however, knock a lamp over and cause it to break. They are perfect for indoors. Love them!

I use them indoors in lamps. I would think, if the lanterns are enclosed, it wouldn't be a problem.

We ordered them for our squadron bar, and they are very sturdy. I think they would do well outside, but not sure if they would rust. Hope this helps

I live in the Pacific NW, so I don't use them in that way - due to possible mildew. But, if they were allowed to dry out in between loads, they might hold up fairly well. They're pretty sturdy. My dog tried to eat one of them and it stood up to the Newfoundland test.

So far I have had no problem but with all blown glass there can be issues so use care.....I really like my set and they are sturdier than they feel. As long as you set them down on a padded surface or a napkin.

Hi- No, they are not a choking hazard. I tried to put one of the horses in a paper towel roll and I could not. They stand about 2 1/2-3 inches tall and maybe 3 inches long.

They are pretty sturdy. If you are using them for illusions they are a little slippery, but still can be used for this.

Well, sure. They will certainly support that weight. I have trimmed hollow core doors sitting on top of mine. The only thing that runs up a pink flag, (not bad enuf to be red) is how much lateral stress that you would actually transmit to the sawhorses. If there is going to be a lot of wiggling, then I would probably be sure that the horses are on concrete, asphalt, or equivalent. Lastly, don't shake the varnish or overbrush it. Good luck.

The question isn't as easily answered as I thought it would be. From their appearance to me, I believe the structure of the tubes is metal. They seem heavy enough and they certainly are sturdy. To get a "for sure" answer, you might have to contact Vivitar.

These fixture are safe to use in a bathroom, I instaled one over my vanity. The tubular bulbs recommended are not strong enough, I suggest you use the narrow neon bulbs or even better the LED bulbs (more expensive, but they will last a lifetime)
