Not being fully encased (many CFLs have vent holes for the power supply) they can throw sparks when they fail. CFL bulbs, being replacements to incandescents, can be closer to things that can catch fire, such as upholstery (a table lamp). However, as shown above, these sorts of ballasts are usually encapsulated, and if a component fails, is contained within.Ĥ. A fixture where some or all of the lamps shut off by themselves and later come back on is probably a fixture with a failing ballast. In most designs, when the ballast cools off, the sensor will allow the ballast to turn back on. All modern magnetic ballast designs have an internal temperature sensor that shuts the ballast off it gets too hot. Because a failing ballast can get extremely hot, it can become a fire hazard. However, not all ballasts fail and stop functioning. Leaving burned-out lamps in the fixture, using the wrong size lamps, incorrect wiring, incorrect line voltage, operation at temperatures below or above the rated limits, power surges, and even the age can all cause a ballast to fail. The standard fluorescent lamp ballast can fail. Capacitors, like the black one shown above, can sometimes fail catastrophicallyģ.

When a broken CFL was reported in Maine, the state’s Department of Environmental Protection did the most extensive testing in the nation to evaluate the health risk. According to EPA and other sources, the safe limit is 300 nanograms per cubic meter.
