The product, in the report: Sylvania SuperSaver Plus Halogen Flood Lamp 70W (120W replacement)
Sylvania SuperSaver Plus Halogen Flood lamp 120w replacement (70W) after some unknown number of months in service (estimate between 9 and 18 months) began periods of randomly being off (while powered) or on. After a week or two of this behavior today the light suddenly exploded spraying extremely hot shards of glass. Luckily, no person was standing under the light at the time. One small piece of glass was so hot that it burned (charred) a wood chair seat where it landed.

The product, in the report: Sylvania 75W Par16 Halogen Flood
In one of the homes that I am a maintenance person for there are 50 can lights on tracks that were using Sylvania 75Par16 Halogen lights (Sylvania item #59042-3). We have had a very high rate of failure from a design or manufacturing defect in which a metal ring that holds a glass lens cover in place falls off allowing the hot lens cover to fall out as well. We have had cases of the hot lens exploding on impact with coffee tables and countertops, posing a risk of severe eye injury. Fortunately we have replaced all of the bulbs with another brand without anything worse than singed carpet and minor finger burns. Upon replacement we noted that out of the 45 Sylvania bulbs we removed 14 had already had a failure as described above. We are not sure of how many we replaced one at a time before we realized that there was a serious problem with the product.
