Wow, that's some interesting information to be made aware of. I've seen plenty of lamps burn out or blow, but never seen them blow a fuse or pop a breaker at the same time.
Blow out situation: Low-hung lights around a wrestling ring and action had a guy bump a fixture pretty hard and the lamp blew(didn't break, must have jostled the element too hard), and that Par56 went POP. Dimmer still working(I know, it was mine, used it a short time later at a wedding. Light and lamp were not mine though). Typically when I see a bulb just burn out from usage, it's also less dramatic.
I guess I got lucky with no fuses blowing.
