My best advice to you is hire an electrician to fix the problem as well as replacing the old lighting to an LED.

Oerhaos if there is a transformer attached to it then that might have blown hence the pop and surge. Would be willing to replace the transformer for yoy

Internal circuity of light could have been damaged when you removed metal casing.

Depending on the type of lamp , it may have a transformer in the ceiling which is where the problem is. Or you may have a faulty lamp. Even new lamps can be faulty , so it may be worth trying a lamp in another fitting to prove it works first.

Sounds as if you will need a new fitting installed as bulb blowing seems to have blown part of fitment

The lamp hold is faulty. It was experiencing partial contact that was why it popped out.

sometimes there can be a loose connection in the holder as the slight movement can do this , also if it is a B C holder then try checking one of the spring-loaded contacts to see if it has stuck down ? If you are doing this yourself please be certain to isolate your electric first .

Bulb holder has probably expanded, so the fit is more loose

Hi, This sounds like the fault, when the light bulb blew, has actually damaged the light fitting. If it is a standard central bathroom light then I would recommend having the light replaced as it is probably beyond repair. If you have spotlights however, depending how old they are, they may be on 12v transformers and that shall have blow. These are easy enough to buy put should only be fitted by a qualified and competent electrician. Hope this helps.

There may be a damaged cable inside the light fitting that would require an electrician to come and inspect it and if necessary test it.
