[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 982105, member: 199791"] Sounds like the lampholder is of chinese origin, made of low quality plastics that can't tolerate much heat before melting and/or burning, definitely get rid of it, and you might aswell replace the cable, just incase it's been damaged... As for LED bulbs getting hot, they do, but nowhere near as hot as an incandescent bulb can (after all, you can use an incandescent lightbulb to make a small oven!!), after all, they're lower current devices... :) [/QUOTE]
