I had this problem with my outside flood bulb and pulled the contact in the
bottom of the socket out a bit and that did the trick

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Light Socket Too Deep


  Hello Gentlemen,

  I went out and purchased several CFL bulbs at my local Home Depot today.
  They're running a promotion and have them on sale. The price is $5 for 4
60
  Watt CFL bulbs. In two or three of the fixtures in which I tried to use
the
  bulbs, I found the socket is a little too deep for the bulb. The bulbs
  don't make contact at the bottom of the socket even though they're screwed
  in all the way. Does anyone know of any work-arounds for this problem. I
  think maybe a small piece of aluminum foil between the bulb and the bottom
  of the socket might do the trick. Any thoughts? Thanks.

  Take care,
  Ed
