Last night, as I was screwing in my new grolux, I noticed that it was very difficult near on impossible to get it screwed in as it looks in the pictures (using the circled bit pointing down as a reference), as it was screwing in it would always sit at a 90 degree angle so the insides of the bulb looked like they were on its side.
Its not majorly bothering me or anything, as the bulb operates as it should etc and ive never even thought about it beforeso its just one of those little things that sit in the back of your head, does it matter if it looks like its on its side or facing down like in the pics (which I imagine would just be for display purposes)? The reason I ask is because theyre delicate fookers, with all those bits inside the bulb etc does it affect its life span or anything?
I know this is probably one of the daftest questions youve ever heard, and personally I cant think of any bulb where it matters how its screwed in but I just thought i'd ask, as theres many unusual features about hps lights you dont find in most other bulbs
