Trim the burnt parts, it will only attract bugs.

This is a possible fire hazard (less so with CFL, but still).

You need to have a better method of securing your lights than a clamp. If you use a clamp, tie off a tether line from the fuxture to the ceiling, so if the clamp fails, the fixture only drops an inch or two. Make the tether removable (we call these earthquake supports in the lighting industry).

Good luck but trim that sucker NOW so she can grow back healthy.
