FastDogz 155 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Right now i ahve your attention Lets talk about ELECTRICAL faults ... Well yesterday the bulb went in my hallway have only had it in a couple of months - nothing funny there yed think fair enough bulbs go. But i got up at 5.30 am this morning to walk my boy before work and i tunred on the living room light (hardley ever used - bulb only been in since febuary) and it went BANG and fell to the floor (i shit myself) on closer insepction the bulb had litrally cracked all the way round just below the screw in bit...(some glass is still hanging from light fitting i cant reach it)When i picked up the bulb it was only the glass/the outer shell the rest of the device is still in the socket ... Today i have also heard my kettle going "click" for no reason... What are your thoughts on this? Does it sounds like dodgy wiring? Has anyone else ever seen a bulb explode before?
