Help with 200w reflector

[vanslyke]

Hey guys, so Im doing my first tent grow. Just a small one to start and see how she goes.
Im hanging a 200w CFL with a reflector. When i screw in the light there is a pretty mean hang to the socket and the whole light bends an inch or so down. Has anyone had this happen to them using the same light setup??
Thanks for any help!

P.S. I'll be starting a grow journal shortly once the tent is perfected. Strains are Pink Afghan Kush and Green Crack.

For what you spent for the cfl, you could've bought a good set of T8's. But yeah, I had that problem with a 175 watt cfl. I wound up going to Walmart n buy a big drop light hood for $10.
