I've been smelling "burnt plastics" for long long time. Main suspect was LED bulbs that weren't rated for "enclosed fixture", even though most fixtures are open. I think it's just the quality of plastics. Anyways, I replaced them with ones specifically rated for "enclosed fixture" (Home Depot's Ecosmart brand). Smell is gone a lot. But, there is still faint smell.
Ordinary bulbs fit in speakers? ..
If the bulbs are easy to remove, you could test the current without them. I think the issue is that the bulbs in the ceiling were replaced but there's still a smell so the speakers are the next target to get rid of the smell.
I don't think there are light bulbs in the speakers?
No, there is no LED bulb in my speakers. :-) Hugh misread my post, probably because he missed my earlier thread regarding "smelly bulb". I also misread my meter. PC speaker is pulling 100mA when idle, so 10W which is still a lot.
