Has a smell now. I have been using it and then one day, it got stuck in the fixture. The ceramic was coming off the fixture. So I had to unplug it and fix it. All the screws in the fixture are nice and tight. No gaps. No burnt wires or lose connections.
So, tonight, I decided to see if I could use it because it's a 100 watt and we're having cold spells. I have a 60 watt for a 10 gallon fish tank. (It works now for her now because it's not too cold..) So anyway. This CHE is emitting a horrible smell like it's on it's last nerve. The screw cap has some ceramic flakes flaking off underneath the screw part. I won't be using this anymore. But the 60 works fine. Even when it somehow got fuzz on it and it stuck to it for the most of the day. I give the lamp time to cool before plucking in the CHE. Like several hours. I may have to wait 15 minutes from now on for this CHE. Well, moisture is coming out of the 60.
