Issue with maristar metal halide

[rawbomb]

I am having issues with my 3ft maristar as of late. One of the bulbs keeps coming loose and turning off one of the sides of the unit. Anyone know any quick fixes? With the temps in there I don’t think tape will work.

the MH or T5's bulb?

MH bulb, it isnt fitting snug enough to maintain contact on one side and its slipping out.

take the bulb out, there is a screw holding each one of the 2 sockets, make sure this screw is tight then grab a pair of needle nose pliers and slight close the gap between the point of contact clip on the socket, call me if I am not clear.

Quick note!
Make sure the power is off when you do that...
