Incandescent lamps are usually rated for 2000 hours. This life length is shortened by excessive switching, high source voltage and vibration. Higher voltage will shorten the life of the lamp. It is the heating and cooling of the filament that weakens the element. Norman lamps have three filament supports where vibration is not a factor. Rough service lamps get a longer life because the the five filament supports.
