Melted polycarbonate

(1/1)

Mike:
I had my m400 on stupidly with an m250r2 poly lens and melted the lens and my couch cushin :o :'( :'( Now i have to pay for a new cushon. Just wait 'til my dad comes home. :(

Jace the Gull:
Man sorry to hear that!!! Accidents happens.....but how did you get the M-250R2 to fit on the M400???

But I kinda thought the GE squarish lens was actually an acrylic plastic because they break more easily and is thinner and rarely yellows....

Well, the lens wasn't on the m400, so the m400 is perfectly OK. I had the socket from the M400 laying inside the lens because I was working the socket. I went upstairs for luch, came back down and plugged it in, forgeting that the poly lens was in contact with the lamp. Soon after I was done checking my email, I smelled a burning plastic scent. Then i remembered about my M400 being on. Then I think about the lens and start going CRAZY! BTW, the poly lens was made by Formed Plastics, I just foungd the lens with an M-250R2 door on the ground. The lens never yellowed, though it got fogged up. The m250 lens actually DOES fit the m400 if you put it on sideways. I got melted plastic all over my 400w mercury lamp. It was only Plusrite though
