[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 374268, member: 6969"] Hi semblance and welcome to the forum. It sounds like your wife had a lucky escape. Like others I strongly suspect the lamp is the issue. Almost certainly the metal part of the lamp had become live and touching that and the metal earthed front plate of the socket. Once you reach 10 posts, you will be able to upload images, so go and make a few more useful contributions to the forum and when you reach 10 post a picture of the lamp, in particular the detail of the lamp holder and where the flex enters the lamp. It does without saying, don't plug that lamp in again, at least until it has been properly checked and any faults corrected first. [/QUOTE]
