Does a light bulb have a life span?

No, of course not. You just have to be careful not to knock it or flick the switch for it repetitively or the fuse will blow. If the fuse blows the light will not work anymore.

Why life of a bulb ends after certain time span?

By bulb, it is assumed a light bulb is intended rather than a flower bulb or any other kind of bulb. Light bulbs burn out because they are engineered to do so. There would be less profit to the bulb manufacturer if he made bulbs to last longer, which he could if he wanted to. In the early days of bulb manufacture, a bulb was made which still continues to burn over 110 years later. See the link below for more information on the 110 year bulb.

Can a bad lighting fixture cause a light bulb to fail?

If you install a bulb and it immediately fails with a flash then the fixture or more likely the supply voltage is a problem. This is a rare failure mode for the standard screw-in incandescent bulb. Essentially the only way it can happen is if a voltage in access of the rated voltage is applied to the bulb. It is more likely that the fixture shorts out and takes the bulb with it during the current surge. This can happen more easily than a constant over voltage condition, but after that the fixture is usually toast. If there is a ballast built in to the fixture, it can fail in a way that can eat light bulbs. One other failure mode that can reduce life of bulb is an enclosed fixture that overheats and causes the bulb to have a reduced life span.


How long will 100 watt bulb last?

Read the label on the container. The light bulb will be rated "B-10" life. This refers to a statistical number value. "B-10" Life is the average life span a bulb will last for 90% of those tested. If you went purely by the "average" time to burn out, then that is not specific. One brand of light bulbs can have a higher Average. But if it has a lot of scatter in the data, then that would mean some bulbs could fail much earlier and some much later. On the other hand, if you determine a bulb has a X hour "average" life with a minium scatter factor, then more of the bulbs will perform closer to the average. Read the label on the box.
