I have two of the Philips remote phosphor "alien head" lamps in an overhead fixture. Yesterday we had a brief brownout and most of the lamps dimmed and then came back on, but the two bulbs in this one ceiling fixture went out and wouldn't come back on until I cycled the light switch.
There are no electronics in the fixture itself and the light switch is a regular, passive SPST on/off switch. Apparently something in the lamp driver stalled out. I doubt that this is the action of some sort of protection circuit but I'm not sure. The bulbs have been running fine since the brownout. I'm wondering what happened.
