The product, in the report: Blue Max -Dimmable Floor Lamp and Blu M x70 W BL style replacement bulbs.

The Product, BlueMax Full Spectrum Solutions stand-up lamp is constructed in an unsafe manner, whereby a very delicate replacement bulb-unit must be inserted between two metal clips.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/18/2014) FULL SPECTRUM SOLUTIONS: Please note the history of events and relevant information as follows:
Consumer purchased lamp from manufacture on 3/30/07. Consumer was sent a replacement ballast, under warranty, shortly after purchase (4/11/07). Consumer contacted manufacturer by phone on 3/19/14 at 9:41AM, requesting to send lamp in, under warranty, for service. Instructions where emailed to customer 3/19/14 at 11:18AM. Lamp was returned to manufacturer and was inspected on 3/26/14, shortly after this inspection the consumer was notified that the lamp they sent in was severely damaged by carrier service (Redacted) due to inadequate packaging. Consumer agreed that lamp was not worth salvaging due to the shipping damaged. Manufacture took the liberty of handling the (Redacted) damage claim on behalf of the consumer by submitting pictures to (Redacted) so that the consumer can get reimbursed for the damaged fixture.
Inspection of the lamp did find that the lamp had a bad ballast. The plastic ballast casing is (Redacted) polycarbonate type PC503 (fl) and is also rated UL94V-0, it is also known as “flame retardant Lexan”. The UL file for the material is E161723. The outside shell of this lamp is steel, under the steel there is a non-flammable concrete base. There is an access panel on the base of the of the lamp which is ABS and is UL recognized to UL94V-O which means that it is self-extinguishing under the UL94 vertical burn test with no flaming drips. The material on the base of the lamp and the ballast casing are not “just plastic” as the consumer described.
The abnormal end of life that has been seen is not common but it can happen regardless of the type of lamp/ballast that is used. All fluorescent ballast for indoor use have to be Class P thermally protected to where they automatically shut off the power circuit when a rare failure like this happens, as was the case with the ballast in this lamp. In some cases when a capacitor fails on the ballast board there can be a temporary odor that is emitted from the ballast. It is a rare occurrence. However, this is why UL requires using a material that cannot ignite. At times when consumers smell this odor they believe that the units could catch on fire. The capacitor is part of the electronic circuitry in the ballast. The capacitor cannot catch fire when it burns out as we use non-flammable fire-retardant plastic to encapsulate the ballast (as specified above). The ballast on consumers lamp failed in a noticeable and safe manner. All of our products adhere to UL and ETL safety standards and are approved for use in residential and commercial applications. This specific lamp is tested and approved by ETL.
Consumers lamp quit working. Consumer was not harmed nor was there any damage to his personal property. Manufacture took steps to service lamp under warranty. Due to shipping damage consume and manufacturer agreed the lamp was not worth salvaging. Consumer should be getting reimbursed for lamp from carrier service (Redacted).
