Fluorescent lightbulbs a fire hazzard?
We had a fluorescent lightbulb in our young daughter's room. GE brand, 15 watt. It was placed in the ceiling light fixture about a year ago with just a standard square glass covering over it, (not completely enclosed). The light started flashing on and off by itself so my husband turned off the light at the switch. Several minutes went by and then we could smell that "electrical/plastic" fire smell. We frantically located the source and found that the bulb apparently had been on fire as scorch marks are coming out of the inside of the casing that holds the lightbulb threads in place. (Scorch marks from within the lightbulb itself) We have never heard of problems with these types of bulbs and have actually heard of only positive things such as with energy savings. Is this a common problem with the bulbs or a potential problem with the light fixture? I'm afraid to use her light without getting it checked into first.
I bought a compact fluorescent bulb a few years ago and loved it. In fact it is still in use in my basement. I think the think cost like $8.
Then about a month later I saw a three pack of a "cheaper" brand on sale for the same price. Since I liked the $8 one so much, I bought the three pack.
ALL THREE BULBS leaked a fluid out of the little ballast? casing on the bottom of the bulb. One did it in the first week, the other two a few weeks later. One even MELTED! I was shocked. I was also lucky I didn't catch something on fire. Even though the $8 is still working fine I never bought another one.
Just be careful of the quality of items. You really do get what you pay for.
To answer your question, what you describe is rare, but it obviously happens. Try an incandescent, you should be fine. If it doesn't work, flip the switch back off and call an electrician to take a peek at it.
