This CFL bulb was in a basic ceiling fixture in our basement. No dimmer is attached. My husband was in the basement with the lights on. This bulb started to flicker and he was looking at it. It made a small pop and a flame came out. Luckily he was there to remove the bulb before the fire could spread. I do have pics of the bulb.

The product, in the report: Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Lumacoil L30123M, 23W, 120V, 60Hz, 363ma “AM Conservation Group, Inc. Charleston, SC” printed on the base

Compact florescent bulb in table lamp exploded. The bulb started to flicker, so I turned the lamp off. I had forgotten about the bulb doing this and turned the lamp on that evening and nothing happened, no flickering at all. I turned the lamp off and went to get a replacement bulb and got about 5 steps away from the lamp when it exploded. Even with a lamp shade on the debris went out about 7-8 feet. The base of the bulb came apart and the circuit board is exposed. There is a burn mark on the plastic cap around the area where the glass tube enters the cap. I don’t know how long this bulb was in this lamp. It is one of the larger compact florescent bulbs and may be 5-7 years old. It is a Lumacoil L30123M, 23W, 120V, 60Hz, 363ma bulb. It has “AM Conservation Group, Inc. Charleston, SC” printed on the base. I have photos and have bagged the base and will keep for 2 weeks, if some one wants it. I have thrown away the glass.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(10/2/2012) AM CONSERVATION GROUP, INC: The attached report issued by Underwriters Laboratories regarding Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) indicates that the “end-of-life” for a CFL takes on different characteristics than those attributed to incandescent bulbs. We have sold millions of Lumacoil L30123M CFLs throughout the years, and this is the first instance that we have been made aware of when the lamp “exploded.” We have had reports of lamps smoking when they reach end-of-life, but never one similar to this report. If possible, we would request the lamp base be sent to us in order to research. It should be noted that a number of factors can cause a lamp to burn out, such as a defective light fixture, faulty wiring or a power surge, just to mention three possibilities. Based on the report provided, it is impossible to determine the cause of this particular incident. The product reported in the incident is a UL approved CFL.
