The product, in the report: Bell and Howell, 27 Watt, floor lamp with a flexible neck. Very similar to https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Howell-Sunlight-Desk-Lamp/dp/B000RWPY98
I want to report a faulty ballast in a Bell and Howell flourescent floor lamp, which burned out and left a smoke stain on the carpet. Luckily it did not start a fire outside of the lamp, but the next person may not be so lucky.
It was plugged into a timer switch to help with security. Some time in the last few months it stopped working. I removed the ballast from the base and found that the cover was melted and the inside was charred.
It’s a 27 Watt lamp very much like ones available for sale online; https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Howell-Sunlight-Desk-Lamp/dp/B000RWPY98 It is some years old, but I don’t know how many.
