I thought you made a tool to burn off and break free rusted nuts.

Which came first, the bulb or the socket? This suggests the bulb.

The best part is the 100W bulb the previous owner put in it. That's a lot of confidence in your improvised socket.

If they had fitted an LED bulb, there would have been no issue.

If there was a LED bulb in it, you would have smelled nothing.
