Default exploding LED !

Yesterday SWMBO turned on a light switch and there was a loud bang. Today
I discovered that an electrolitic capacitor in a GU10 lamp had exploded
forcing the front diffuser and the LED pcb out of the glass. Diffuser was
only plastic so it didn't break on hitting the floor; the rest was held in
place by the wiring.

I've never heard of this particular fault before.
