That is a not-uncommon problem with Xenon lamphouses in movie theatre
projection rooms.  The lamp is hooked to the rectifier with wiring that's
pretty much equivalent to welding cables.  If the bolts that hold the cable
contacts down ever get loose, it can burn the ends right off of the cable.
Same thing with the screw-down clamps that hold the lamp in place.

You have to check those connections on a regular basis and give them a crank to
keep them snug.  It's not good when something like that happens, especially on
a Friday night with a blockbuster movie (which is when that sort of thing will
happen, of course.)
