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.
