The local (to me) newspaper [1] has a story about a local firefighter who had a 13W
Globe brand screw in fluoprescent light bulb erupt into smoke. There is a warning
from Health Canada about them:
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/english/protection/warnings/2004/2004_68_e.html
The scary part is the bulb that erupted is one of the "safe" ones, that is, it was
made after the dates provided by Health Canada which are supposed to indicate the
unsafe ones.
[1] You know you live in a small town when everybody reads the newspaper to see
if they got the story right. Cite: The Shield, Madoc review edition, Feb 18, 2005, P 17
