Blinding Light

When I turned on the lamp in the boys' room tonight, it flashed twice really bright and never turned on.  I turned it off and then back on again.  It flashed very brightly twice again and then started to smoke.  I unplugged it this time.  When I unscrewed the lightbulb, this is what we found:


It had completely burned a hole in the bottom of the bulb.  It could've started a fire and I'm glad the boys weren't home alone turning it on.  Time to get a new lamp.
