Allow me to set the scene.
It's Friday night, I'm chilling sucking down some High Lifes, snapping hits from the Graffix, watching some golf highlights. Ahh, the high life.
Decide to venture into the basement for a peek at my cab.
I get to the bottom of the stairs and smell something burning.
I immediately check inside the cab and dont see flames so I start checking the hps ballast, the DC transformer, air pumps, etc looking for where this is coming from. Nothing outside the cab seems odd, so when I open up an the cab again, I notice the rear 85w cfl is not operating. I pull the bulb and find this.
Anyone have a cfl bulb fail like this? It scared the shit out of me.
The bulb was over 4 years old with probably 5 grows under it's belt, not counting the 2 year stint they did in my garage for general lighting.
