The product, in the report: Philips indoor flood 12-volt halogen MR16 50w GU5.3 base bulb
A Philips halogen light I installed came apart and the glass cover fell onto a marble counter and broke. This left the still-operating light’s halogen bulb uncovered and broken glass on the counter. The bulb had been installed minutes earlier when the glass fell out for no apparent reason.

The product, in the report: Philips Wide-Lite light fixtures
On September 22, 2014 at approximately 5:57am, a light bulb in the Philips Wide-Lite fixture attached to the [REDACTED] located at [REDACTED] exploded. The heat of the explosion caused the plastic cover of the Philips Wide-Lite fixture to rupture and resulting in damage to a student’s parked vehicle.
The Clark County Fire Department was called and extinguished the sparks and flames on the rear fender and right rear light of the vehicle.
The light fixture failed to contain the exploded lamp. The failure caused hot melting plastic from the fixture to drip down from the ceiling of the parking garage and landed on the right rear taillight and right rear bumper causing significant damage to the vehicle.
The light fixture lens should be able to withstand lamp rupture per UL 1572.
The ruptured lamp escaped the fixture after only five (5) years operating since the garage was built. With over 260 same Wide-Lite fixtures in the [REDACTED], there is a concern this incident could occur in the future and cause severe bodily injury or property damage.
The source of the lamp rupture might have been due to loose rivet I crimp connections on the tail attached to the center lamp socket tab resulting in the failure seen below.
