6500K CFL Exploded in my room
    #19061292 - 10/31/13 12:34 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So I get pretty bad seasonal affective disorder and I decided to slowly replace all the traditional bulbs in my apartment with daylight spectrum CFLs.

The bulbs all say they are guaranteed to last 9 years at 3 hours a day which is about 410 days of straight operation.

This bulb was only about 3 weeks in this socket. 

About 15 minutes ago I heard a popping sound and it goes out.  I freaked out for a moment about mercury and stuff.  I turned the fans on and opened a window but when I pulled the bulb out of the socket I found no break in the tube.  None whatsoever.  No broken glass on the ground either.  Almost as if it was a problem with something in the base.

Has anyone else had this happen?  It was a 26 watt (100 watt replacement) from GE.

Have you felt a faint dying sound coming from your heart?

Sounds like a problem with the socket.

That popping sound you heard was Thomas Edison's ghost sabotaging the bulb from the inside.

He does not approve of such technology. You should have went with a full-spectrum incandescent. That way, Thomas's ghost wont burn out yer bulbs.


Better watch out CFL
