Light Bulb Socket Trips Breaker - 02/21/09 01:00 AM

This happened a few months ago. A one-way bulb in a three-way socket and a short circuit inside the socket tripped the breaker switch; the bulb was a mini-fluorescent bulb.
The one thing I find odd is that I have a lamp with a three-way socket and have used one-way fluorescent and incandescent bulbs in it for years and as far as I can remember, there’s never been a problem with that.
I included a shot of the sticker saying the max wattage the lamps rated for.
