There's no dimmer.
No, no contact with the sides or anything. The socket is in the center of a six inch wide white coated metal cylinder.
It just got hot and blew. First it just went out and before we could get to it, a *pop* and smoke poured out.

I wrote to Sylvania about the fact that there is NO warnings at all on the outside of their packaging, only on an inside flap that states a few things not to do and "totally enclosed luminaires", which, actually these are not. They're enclosed as recessed cylinders but there's even a small space between the rim and the ceiling; they don't seal tight.
