my question about the over head light has more to do with  the wires coming
to the light ficture itself.. I had some of those spiral type long lasting
florsent bulbs that had attracted a lot of ladie bugs. 2 of them were burned
out when I checked it out. What had happend was I smelled what I thought
smelled like a curling iron and after sniffing around for a while I was in
the kitchen and I heard what sounded like a terible short from the light. I
turned off the switch and let things cool down because although not to hot
to touch it was warm. Well any way with the switch off  and the braker still
on I checked out the wires and did not get a shock. My wife thinks that if
the wires had been bare from the insalation being burned off I would have
gotten a shock.
So is she correct
Also When those type of bulbs go bad do they tend to go out kicking and
screeming like that. Or do I more likely have a problem.

Against my better judgment I did turn on that light after taking out the 2
bad bulbs and leaving in the 2 good bulbs  and a lot of hounding from my
wife that we should try it and see what happens.
As far as I can tell the wires still look good.
