LOL yes, Kev has seen these explode over people in shops!

Lol ventrue shitelux the one I seen go actually melted the outside glass of the lamp dripped on to the "shatter proof" glass shattered it all over the customers there was a really hair thing piece of glass coming from the lamp stretching down about 3 meters! Odd

Yeah these things are crap

How long was this left cycling? On this topic schools around here are being recommended to change sports hall lighting to LED due to this

If they used philips this wouldn't happen the philips masters just crack on the arc tube not explode

If they were changed at 10,000 hours, (like Venture state), none would suffer this, but work being work leave them in whilst their still lit, never mind half of them have lost about 20,000 lumens, it still lights up!

Seeing Dannys pic reminds me of the worse one I have seen, which has to be this!

Surprised it didn't go bang!

I am kind of!

Intersting to note that the glass has buldged out instead of being sucked in. There is obviously NO vacuum in the outer jacket.
