breaking if I drop it, or it falls from a shelf, table or counter?
A. Under most circumstances, no, you don't have to worry about
it breaking. While it is not guaranteed against breakage due

the light bulb has been hardened as well. If you do not make
a habit of dropping your GlowBuoy or throwing it around, it
should last for years and years of use.
