Did the problem go away when you replaced it with another of that
type - i.e, was it a defective bulb? Or do all bulbs of this type
give you this problem? I have several of them here and haven't
noticed any problem, but I might have missed something.

Sure enough, one of them modren, don't use much power, lasts a long
time toxic material containing bulbs was ossylayting to beat the band....
Now, I have unscrewed it and have packed it away in a shock proof
transportation carrier so that I can legally transport it to one of
the two approved faciltities around here that accepts them...and
hope that it doesn't break and force me to report myself to the
Maryland Environmental Police so they can condem my car and force me
to hire a toxic waste hauler to take the car with the shattered bulb
to the approved disposal facility.
