Recently fitted a halogen light myself, it has worked fine now for 2 weeks and today it just went bang (very loud, scared the crap out of me).
When it went bang, one of the bulbs shattered everywhere, hot glass particles landed on my head and it actually burnt holes through my bed sheet. It also tripped at the main box (the upstairs light fuse).
The light is a 'Zora 50w GU10 3 LT round spotlight item no. 20929'
purchased in b&q clearance sale about 6-8 weeks ago? (£5-£7)
Is there an explanation on why this has happened? (faulty bulbs/unit?)
Could it just be the bulbs? (they came with light)
I don't fancy going through that again, almost had a heart attack.
