Re: lights started on fire

it is always on my mind if it is going to happen again. it is something wil just the coralife bulbs the first time it started to happen it was the coralife bulbs and it just melted the end of the bulb and a bit of the endcap but this time it was bad. and only with the coralife bulb they just dont fit in the endcap snug enough
