The product, in the report: 75 watt halogen indoor flood long-neck bulb
Halogen light bulb exploded, shattering the lens and sending the shards flying from overhead. The rest of the bulb, including the light itself, remained intact and operative. No injuries fortunately. The bulb is a 60 beam 75 watt 120 v long-neck flood, made in Mexico and purchased, I believe, at Home Depot, Seekonk, Mass. The coding on the bulb is 12:40 23/03/10.
