Wow, that is impressive. I don't think that fire was likely to spread (unless the flaming plastic was dripping onto something flammable), but it was very close to a sprinkler which could heat up and go off. Not a fun situation, that could have been a lot worse.

Otherwise, these fixtures should use open rated lamps with arc tube shrouds.

I thought all low bay fixtures are made from glass rather than plastic.
