Just had a damn scary experience with a lamp. It's hooked to a remote on/off control for my sis and when I switched it on for the night the bulb ****ing exploded! Tiny shards of glass everywhere! It shook us up, I can tell you!

Question: are there any safer lamps anyone knows of? LED maybe, something without a standard bulb? I think it was the bulb that was at fault and if possible I'd like to ensure this doesn't happen again. We're thinking of getting her a standard lamp instead of a desk one like she had --- more robust, can stand well away from any danger proximity area --- but any suggestions certainly welcome.

Bloody cat slept through the whole thing! I'm still shaking!
