Ok, propably not all but I thought I'd share this as it scared the living daylights out of me.
This morning I went to kitchen, flicked the lightswitch and there was a brilliant blue flash, a loud pop and broken glass was raining from the ceiling. Blew a fuse as well. The lamp was totally obliterated. I don't know whether this is common or not. Anyone else had exploding halogen bulbs? The bulb we had looks just like this: http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/93/8......d200.jpg

That is an MR16. They are pretty low voltage, must of had a problem with the transformer.
All halogens lights have been banned in the Las Vegas Convention center on trade show exhibits due to the fire hazard.
