I have placed a dozen or so of these throughout the house over the past year. The other night, my wife & daughter were getting ready to go out for the evening (leaving a couple lights on as usual for the dog), and happened to smell/see smoke coming from a lamp in the living room. They quickly turned it off and called me (since I was on my way out of down). I returned to find the base of the lamp burned. I can only imagine how close we came to having a house fire if nobody had been home at the time.
Seeing others with the same stories, I'm ready to pull all the bulbs throughout the house. The electric savings isn't worth the worry to use this product.
Has anyone had any luck contacting the manufacturer? |
