Yeah I'm always very careful to have power switch on the unit off and the Variac/Dim Bulb setup all powered down and shut off when I plug in the unit but I didn't have everything in that configuration so when I plugged it in there was a flash...that was the 3 ohm resistor in the string blowing and the tubes getting whacked. Or it was when I unplugged it in the same condition. Can't completely remember but it was not while the TV was in operation.
