Right on! ....and for y'all wannabe expects -- a short would cause the circuit breaker to trip!!
Solution: Reduce wattage of bulb (ie; 60 watts) and ensure globe is clean. An over voltage (ie: 125+ volts) is a probable cause, although 117Volts is ideal - a lot of transformers will supply 120+ depending on the configuration (ie; wye/delta) which is still within industry acceptable limits. And by the way, I've found that quality bulbs (ie; GE / Philips) are worth it instaed of the generic WalMart/ Kmart brands..
