innkeeper:
Imagine my surprise when the spotlight in my kids playroom released the magic smoke.
and yes, it has that classic magic smoke smell

Don Hills:
Why is it still in one piece?

mengfei:
yikes! smoke detector worked?
it's a fully closed bulb & no vents at all?
all heat rises top part & will surely kill it in due time, i had a lot of those unbranded ones die on my.

But those philips or osram one's are still alive & kicking after a year or so & some are even embedded in the ceiling with enclosure though they are just 3~5w LED.

Brumby:
It's sights like that which give me nightmares.....

With the old-fashioned incandescent, this sort of fire risk was just not an issue.  Yes, it did have its issues, but nothing quite like this.  Same for CFLs.

Cyberdragon:
Switching supply or cheap Chinese crappy cap dropper?
