The product, in the report: It’s a cream colored ceramic light fixture from Eaton for a single lightbulb. The text on it says EATON, 250V660W, CAT.659. There are some other markings, like “CU” in a circle. The socket for the bulb is a black pastic and metal thing in the ceramic. It has a spring loaded switch, attached to a metal beaded chain, attached to a string so it dangles lower from the ceiling. I bought it from Lowes a while ago; I believe it’s Item #71100, Model #659-BX-LW.
I have a pull-chain light in my basement. After switching the light, the pull-chain sprung up into the fixture and landed on top of the mains power contacts within the fixture, shorting them. There was an audible pop, the circuit breaker flipped, and one bead of the chain had partially vaporized. The pull-chain was welded to the power terminals inside the fixture where it had made contact. There were no injuries and no fire.
