Anonymous Unregistered	you could also try a little clear silicone near the neck of the bulb where it meets the glass. A small dab around the outside of the socket would help hold the bulb in and not hinder taking it out when it needs replacing.

Replaced it with a new bulb and haven't had an issue since (5 years ago) _________________________ member of http://www.soxc.org member of http://www.nexterra.org
