    Quoted from clodpole:

    Have you ever tried applying metal tape to the outside of the lightbulb barrel, to boost the diameter a smidge?

    Don't reinvent the wheel. Just squeeze the socket a smidge. Problem solved.

    I rarely ever have problems with the bayonet sockets, or the wedge sockets (except those damn plastic sockets with the diode built in...I haaaate those).

    Now bayonet popbumper sockets... thats a whole other story. Squeezing them works for a while, but in the end the ultimate fix is to just replace them with wedge sockets.
