once i connected a incandescent lamp with a broken filament to a microwave oven transformer,the result was a very bright orange flash,followed by a continuous bright blue/purple glow,afterwards when the lamp was turned off because of the high current the tungsten from both ends of the filament was sputtered viloently,blackening the bulb,and causing the removal of the internal coating,i hope to try this experiment whem my philips halogena lamp goes out,the results should be intresting,but not as destructive because the arc is contained in the quartz preventing it from wandering around and melting the outter bulb.
