We used to have a saying at the dealership about these. "One thing about the DROP or TROUBLE lights, if you ever drop one, you will have trouble with them forever."

I'm still LOL at this description - "it's main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate that 105-mm howitzer shells might be used during, say, the first few hours of the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name is somewhat misleading."

They will consume 40 watt bulbs at a high rate, especially if dropped. I normally use 60 or 75 watt bulbs, as at least I can see what I need to see.

We used to get 100 watt, heavy duty bulbs that were not supposed to burn up as easily, even if the light was dropped. The first time a light hit the floor, it looked like a camera flash.
