I think there is more going on here. We have not smoked a victor in 6 years, always very careful. Today we mounted a Jaguar, never drilled near it, and it smoked after less than 5 minutes of operation. No way there was debris in it, unless it was left over from manufacturing.
I will contact Luminary Monday, and send it in.
