Food for thought ........

I had a nasty experience in the kitchen last night. One of the
50W halogen bulbs exploded, with a vengeance, as soon as
I flicked the switch, so the bulb was cold. The front glass
shot down to the floor and shattered and we're still finding
shards and splinters of the bulb and its ceramic base. Apart
from that surprise, the lighting circuit breaker tripped, perhaps
some of the bulb went backwards. It was a helluva bang and
in the dark I could see big blue sparks flying everywhere

It's the 3rd halogen to go recently, and they aren't cheap (even
surmising where they were made), so I'm thinking of replacing
them with fluorescent strips
