I hear ya! I probably turn those lights on every couple of months, and that's probably a few minutes at one time.

Here is my cabinet and the glass is tempered 1/4 thick. That's about 22 lbs to 25 lbs on that shelf or 9.98 kgs to 11.33 kgs.

This looks AWESOME IronLungs! Great set up! Did this display come with all the interior lighting?

I remember hearing about the detolfs that were assembled with the bars out instead of in causing the glass to slip through, but i've never heard of detolf glass breaking or the welds breaking in a properly assembled detolf. I have 13 detolfs and I have a good amount of weight on each shelf, never had any issues.

If a weld was to break it would have more to do with it being faulty than the result excessive weight weakening them over time. I've never heard of a detolf weld breaking for any reason though.
