It gets hot in there!

This is what happens when you switch on a head and leave the protective cap on.

The cap has completely melted, leaving residue all over the tube (which is probably shot), reflector, modelling bulb holder (the bulb is long gone, leaving it's legs behind) and accessory mount (most of which is also melted!)
Blimey!
Remember this next time you use a snoot or other enclosed light modifier.
Update...
This is what it should look like:

I'm always cautious about leaving the modelling light on for long with a snoot or grid. Things get very hot very quickly!

If only everyone was as careful.
We see loads of part melted caps but I've never seen one this bad before.
