SHills - looks like the same maker makes them for Traditions and CVA. When you take the bulb out of yours, is it mounted at an angle on the plastic base? Mine is and half the times I drop it down the barrel it turns off when it strikes bottom even tough I'm careful and angle the barrel to reduce the speed. I'm wondering if mine is partially defective and should be square at the base to make better contact. It's irritating and I think I need to bail on this one.
