Did you use CFL bulbs that weren't rated for enclosed fixtures in an enclos

ed fixture? That would fry the bulb, but I'm guessing the fixture would still work if you replaced the bulbs with the correct bulbs.

Any reason you used CFL bulbs instead of LED? (LEDs can still have the same problem if bulbs aren't rated for enclosed fixtures.
