Huge crash of thunder came a few minutes ago at the same time as the lightning... Scared the hell out of me as it has been kinda quiet. Sounded like it broke my office window, and the light went out. Yeah, just one light, while the computer and the rest of the house stayed on.
Fire department just showed up, too. Guess it hit a tree in front and set it on fire briefly.
Now to figure out what the hell happened to this light. Breaker is fine, and everything else on the circuit is too. Of course I happen to be in the basementm, with one light on, and it goes out. Good thing I have a bright LCD screen! |

Good question. It is a fluorescent thing with two circular bulbs, one with like a 10" diameter and the other with a 6" diameter nested inside.
I don't have spares, but they look ok (no black spots that usually indicate death). Ballast was kinda hot for a few minutes, though. |
