I have had bulbs fail before but never so violently that it cracked the glass.
This one is only 8 months old so I presume I get a free replacement? I'll check at the store Monday.
I visited with my plants this morning and when I got back from digging up a septic tank in -5F snowy weather, I went to visit my plants and noticed the light was off.
Fortunately, I always have spares so I popped in a new bulb and everything is going OK, so far. I'm hoping I don't have a problem in my electrical supply. Nothing else in the room was affected and everything else was still running.
Still, pretty weird. Do all 1000w bulbs fail like this?
