Anyone know anything about safety aspects of these bulbs??
I wouldn't think that anything bad happened to your plants.

Trully... I think they're fine. In fact, I'm sure that right now they appreciate their life even more than before.

They just had a brush with death, in the form of a 1000 Watt smoldering ball of fire... They'll be happy to be alive now.
turtle420 Reviewed by turtle420 on . exploding bulb! Hi there! Our mate's 1000w bulb exploded this morning, the filament carrying on burning & singeing the tops of his plants for maybe up to 5 hours. They're beautiful things, these bulbs, but we don't know much about them. Are they vaccuum or gas-filled? if not vaccuum, then what gas is in them? What happens when they blow - are they safe? or is the light spectrum shifted to something more harmful? If so, is it harmful to plants as well as humans?
