The product, in the report: Hampton Bay GX53 7 Watt Fluorescent Bulb
Home Depot Hampton Bay GX53 7 Watt Florescent Bulb (upc is 0893857160) burned out in set of 5 under cabinet llights.
The round puck light actually melted. The plastic lens of the puck light formed a bubble on one side melting the plastic lens. Upon removing the melted lens you can see that the mirrored chrome colored plastic reflector that sits under the florescent tubes in the puck light is also melted.
The unit did not go on fire, but looks to have heated up to high enough temperature that the plastic lens and mirrored chrome reflector melted. This looks like it could have caused a fire
