Ok so ya it was already the furthest it could go, I've turned on the bulb and it fires it's just that it's really loose in the socket, I don't feel any lock in type mechanism with this socket.

This is really lame, I got this from growershouse too. I thought it was kind of strange when I received this reflector, the sticky green plastic film that is usually on new reflectors wasn't on this one... it was already taken off it appeared. And in the instructions, it tells me to take off the film... I wonder if growershouse were aware they sent me a defective reflector... 
Any suggestions, would a small amount of electrical tape around the socket be ok? I'm not sure about the heat coming from the bulb near the socket.
I'm thinking about just gorilla glueing this bitch, these bulbs have like a 10,000+ hour rating right lol

my reflectors didn't have any film either. For the bulb are you putting the prongs in correctly one has a flat spot.This is really lame, I got this from growershouse too.

I kind of jammed it in, I don't think mine has a lock mechanism and if it does it must be really ineffective.

Maybe me didn't have film either. They are a cheaper version of the remote reflector.
And it was like you say for a minute when I tried to install the bulb. But if you get it in like the instructions say it locks right in.

Does the added uv and infrared of the cmh produce more potent buds than the cob cxb3590? I want first hand experience please. Trying to decide whether it's worth buying a 315 set up for my 3x3. Right now I have a 250 watt cxb3590 kit from timber. Any answers are appreciated. Thanks folks
There's no real UV with the double jacket lamps, but they do produce tip top bud, especially the 4200k

There is a pair of vids on youtube by A grower that showed a cmh beat cobs and hps by 4% THC in his lab test.
It's the fuller spectrum and additional uv likely.

Sun system remote reflector and galaxy ballast and Phillips 3100k bulb in flower room.
Least expensive highest quality option at growers house in my opinion.
D paps and I just stick in a bulb as I fancy, all 3 are very good
