    cfl lights???

    The only problem I've ever had with CFL's, was the time one fell out of the package at Walmart. Was kinda interesting watching them try and decide how to clean it up, lol. (they contain some mercury)

    But I've never had one melt either itself, or the lamp base. :thumbsup:

    hey dude, guessing the only way a cfl could melt if it was operating in a high heat environment, like unmanaged 90 degrees+++ or.. next to a HPS or MH bulb. Can't think what else would melt the plastic, as obviously they are safety spec tested like that

    Peace,
