Re: [RFI] CFLs and LEDs

FWIW, I had a fairly new Sylvania "75 watt" CFL fail Wednesday; when turned
on, it glowed faintly, then sizzled, and a visible arc leapt between the
tube and the lamp base shell.  

Either that was a rather high voltage, or it was following carbon particles
deposited when the smoke came out, as there is a now a noticeable "smoke
brown" cast to the plastic.
