Maybe there was an insulator contamination, possibly water, or a mechanical insulator failure that resulted in a short. There would have been minimal resistance to the full current that the supply circuit could provide. So instead of milliamps, amps of current. The heating would have caused the insulator block to explode. Was only the screw base left ? Were any parts of the insulator block, the part where the filament supports/leads are set in, present after the explosion ? Any chance moisture, either condensation or spill/spray could have reached the bulb at any time ? I would definitely get on touch with Philips to report a suspected manufacture flaw. you will need to get the report past the first level customer support somehow. They will want to know the lot and factory code, maybe on the base or the box.

When i first visited Cairns, the holiday cottage had a coin operated A/C. Something like 1 dollar per hour back in 1988.

Just read about newly available millimeter wavelength sensors that can detect the motion of breathing in a room. Now if i can just find the link…..
