When it STARTED to run with a blown bulb what happened ? It ran. So it should run again. However, if it is sending already upped voltage to the CCFLs a regular switch is not reliable.

Anyway, it sounds like this contraption is a light, a heater and a fan. Common power supply ? That is common. Correct me if I am wrong.

If I am not wrong I say in the very long run you might cost a little longevity running without that part of the load, but I say MIGHT. Not for sure. And it's not like it's going to fail overnight.

Don't sweat it.

I tested to remove one wire while lit and nothing wrong seems to happen, the light just goes off and the fan continues to spin. I will have to try a relay and see if it turns off reliably.
