| 786802 | 2009-06-29 03:30:00 | I've had one explode. It happens. | AvonBill (11358) | ||
| 786803 | 2009-06-29 04:42:00 | I could see that happening if a crack developed in the glass, allowing oxygen in. Quite entertaining to watch a filament go when exposed to air - as opposed to the inert gas that should surround it. And we're on 230v, the real deal. |
