When I still used CFL’s I had one in a lamp. All of sudden I head a pop, the light went out and a horrible smell filled the room. The glass had broken off the base and the base was in the process of melting into a pile of sludge.

I bagged up the lamp and shade and disposed of it, along with every other CFL I had at the time.

All I've run for the last 10 years is CFLs without issues. Your anecdote doesn't make a systemic problem.

I will however, defend to the death, your right to use carbon arc lamps, if you want. Or regular old Edison bulbs.

To each their own. Devil take the leftists.
