put too high wattage bulbs in. Just went bad. Good news is, it can be bypassed easily. Bad news is, it's less safe if someone DOES stick 120s in there.
Then, as I'm putting it all back together, CRASH, dropped the light housing. Oops. "Luckily" only broke one of the bulb bells, but all of the bulbs.

My aunt said she's more than happy netting the savings of only buying one bell rather than a new light/fan fixture. Fair enough.
