Do you know what chemical reaction happened?

I have a classic pink salt lamp. it had been sitting for a bit unused. I moved it and plugged it in to check the bulb, nope not working. I unplugged it and then tried to take the old bulb out to put a new one in. as soon as I pulled the bulb bit out I heard a huge pop and glass went everywhere. there was a chemical kind of odour. I quickly put it outside in case it was dangerous. I noticed the metal parts that hold the bulb in were rusted.

any one know what reaction has occurred to cause this?!
