The only pot I'm involved with anymore is the kind you stir, and I'm even backing off from those.

LOL

Ya, I hear you and the scrubbing.....TERRIBLE!

Jag,

Could you post a pic? Or is the link already posted by DJ the type of light u are using?.....

I have a couple of ideas, but a picture would help.

1st – there are a number of high heat resist rubber seals that can be purchased to seal the area around the steel connection of the light. (I used some I bought from a pet store to seal the lights above my salt water aquarium. Both were cheap and lasted for a couple of years.)

2nd – depending on the space you could add a wire spacer that is wrapped around the bulb and takes up the space between the bulb and the housing. They are used in industrial applications to keep the bulb from moving and/or breaking against the side of the housing.

Just my 2 cents…….take care.

Hi DelD, thanks for the help.

Here's the pics (courtesy of Home Depot ) of what I have.

This wire spacer sounds exactly like what I need.

Can you tell me do they have a specific name?

Where would you think I should look for them?

Much appreciated, Jag

Jag,

Well I would have thought you could buy these at a local hardware store, but I have searched the internet under every name I could think of and cant find anything that resembles the insulators I have seen before. They are usually square with the center of each side of the square coated in a plastic or rubber. You remove the bulb from the housing, insert the male end of the bulb into the square and reinsert into the housing. Sorry I cant not be any more help on this at the moment :-(

Also I thought of something else that might be easier to obtain. When you purchase outdoor floodlights there is usually a piece of fire resistant cloth or something similar wrapped around the male end of the bulb. (Looks like a thin disc that the bulb has been inserted into) This piece of material keeps moisture from getting near the metal socket. It may also keep the bulb from vibrating.

Again, sorry I cant find the other item, I will look more after work tomorrow.
