Ferraris

When we were redoing our bathroom some 20 years ago, we were intent on making it timeless, but also trendy and gorgeous. 

A centerpiece was a huge mirror system with integrated lighting.  Dazzling.  Italian design.  Given Italy's reputation for quality products, I should have been suspect.  

It has two 3' long bulbs (vertically oriented) that really produce spectacular lighting.  But, being of Italian design, the heat from the bulbs fuses them into their Italian-designed plugs over time.

Dazzling beauty, but a 20-year maintenance headache.  Sort of like Ferraris.
