We just had the same scary situation happen last night!! My two children on second floor, adults on first floor, smoke detector goes off, (thankfully detector just two feet above hall light fixture)- it was the bulb that had orange glow which was small fire. The smell was horrible, but the idea of a lightbulb catching fire is my main concern here! The idea of saving energy at the risk of losing our home to possible fire?? No thanks, I'm pulling them all!! I intend to contact GE for explanation - try to let you know how far I get!
