I have recently had a scare when one of my CMH grow lights exploded while I was at work. It caught my grow on fire, the stands and the floor even started burning. Luckily it was one day that my girlfriend randomly stayed home from work. She heard the loud pop and ran upstairs to see everything lit up. She managed to put it out and call me. I know you're probably thinking I used a cheap bulb or some crappy fixture but I think i was just unlucky. I used the Philips bulb (They are now doing an investigation into what happened) I also used the correctly rated C182/O open style fixture bulb to prevent this. But anyways, I still have trust in CMH but I want to take measures to prevent any future accidents and some plans just incase things ever go wrong. My idea so far is to get a Nest Fire Alarm above my grow to Alert me to any smoke. Any other ideas of prevention, grow setup ideas would be GREATLY APPRECIATED
