Pity that the queen didn't know that.

Wikipedia ; Windsor Castle fire. During renovation work. Halogen light on tripod left unattended.

The fire began in the Queen's Private Chapel at 11:15 in the morning when a curtain was ignited by a spotlight pressed up against it.

Way back in the late 90's I saw the result of a contractor who was building a combination coldroom/freezer room and left a double halogen floodlight on a tripod inside it with the door closed overnight. He claimed someone plugged it in without him knowing. The coldroom was a write off, all the plastic parts inside like the drain trays and the fan plates melted into a puddle underneath their original location, all wiring and motors were trashed, the styrofoam insulation in the wall and ceiling panels also went molten and ran out in places. It was only chance that it didn't start a fire.
 
Only ever slightly off topic, but is there a LED replacement bulb for the old 500W Halogen R7s bulbs?

I can see a few which physically fit, but the light output is only equivalent to a 60W bulb where as I was looking for something giving a similar output to the original 500w bulb...
 
Ignore last post...Just sprung for the Faithfull Rechargeable mentioned earlier in the thread...Will take the fire hazard Halogen to the skip this weekend!
