If you run your light when you get it for 15 minutes or so all the stuff will burn off the on and around socket which is what you smell it will not last longer than two sessions this should be the only mildly strong burning smell you smell unless you let it sit for a while and you start it back up after the while it can be dust burning off that you smell or if you use good amount of fog it is the fog residue that is burning off. If it does not sit for somewhat long periods and you don't you much or any fog then you may want to open your light and investigate the smell. A new bulb can create some burning smell but not very noticeable and should be gone after a while on.
