Garage
Outdoor light question

Hey all,

I'm having issues with a light that I rigged for my garage. I bought a new ballasted compact fluorescent fixture, removed the guts, then installed them in my old Hubbell light fixture. I bypassed the eye, but installed an aftermarket photo eye a week later, as reconnecting the factory eye was problematic. Very bright, worked great for a month. The bulb blew, but I was expecting it not to last long, as I jostled it around during my many trial fittings to get everything situated.

My second bulb only lasted 1 day... Both blown bulbs ended up loose after they blow...is this typical of these bulbs, or am I having other problems? Are there any obvious issues with my install that I am missing?

Sorry if my iPad inverts the pics!






Thanks everybody
