Black heat lamp DEFECTIVE?

[MEDEA]

I recently purchased a black light heat lamp from Petco, it was wrapped in alot of packing tape, I had them open it and make sure the filiment was not broken. It was fine. I took it home hooked it up and the light seemed to melt away from the screwin socket part, i immediately turned it off. Has anyone here ever heard of such a problem?

Well mine didnt do the same thing as yours. What happend is that it worked for bout 2weeks then stopped working then worked on/off then now just does not work at all.

Bring it back and get it replaced or a refund.
