i don't think it really matters, i really don't see how one can change it, as chad said, i just screw them in as far as they'll go.

I've played around with my SE MH bulbs before, and if they're screwed in all the way you can't change if the nipple is up or down. The whole concept that it will affect the light output seems odd to me.
