Burn odor from my black spotlight « on: July 31, 2024, 10:10:37 AM » Author: dor123
My black spotlight emits an odor of burn when used with my Indonesian Philips golf-ball E14 60W incandescent lamp when pointing up. The lamp have whiter color than my Sylvania Lynx-S 9W/827 CFL, probably 2900K. Why is this odor?

Either dust or some pieces may be melting/burning due to the heat. Check the fixture's bulb area to see if it is deformed.

No deformation in the fixture. Update: Even when the lampshade is out, the odor is still there.

I would watch it burn for a while, make sure nothing catches on fire and it should go away on its own. Also make sure it's not the wires burning.
