You may have a badly wired house. It can be a bad loose or incorrectly wired part of the house wiring. Sometimes the needed ground is not made. When other circuits are used the household load can put too much voltage on one side of neutral and do damage. Neutral is the centertap of your external power transformer. 220vac (volts alternating current) is center tapped to provide two 110vac circuits to your lights and wall plugs. 220vac for hot water and the dryer. The neutral must be grounded at the residence main breaker box for safety and balanced power. An eight foot copper rod is driven into the ground and the main breaker boxes ground terminal is hooked to it by some hefty wire. The main box is where sub-boxes (other breaker boxes connected to the main one) need to be grounded also.
Buy compact florescent or LED lamps to replace the burnt ones.
A lot of things can cause bulbs to blow prematurely, excessive voltage, bad connections on your neutral wire, lost tension on spring contact in the center of your socket, but the #1 reason is vibration. Most of the time I that I run into this problem it is ceiling fans but even if it is not install a ceiling fan light bulb in the problem socket and see if that cures your problem. Most people don't know that there even was such a thing as a ceiling fan light bulb but they exist and are designed for ceiling fans and garages where it is likely exposed to higher vibration levels. The vibrations may not come from a ceiling fan but a washer or dryer, slamming doors etc. or just simply the fixture is not mount securely to the ceiling

What happens if you power a 120v light bulb with 300v?
Of course this is a bad idea. It will likely look like a flash bulb and may explode the glass. Do not do anything like this.
Which was invented first the light bulb or electricity?
electricity because a light bulb needs electricity
Does the middle bulb on the tail light work?
If there is a bulb, it should work.
The power delivered to the light bulb is 23.1 W. What are the two possible resistances of the light bulb?
A: HARD TO SAY because a bulb has different resistance as it warms up
Why does the brake light on the integra not light up when you turn on the light but it light up when you brake?
The Integra uses a dual-filament bulb in the tail light, which has one contact for the running light (the lights you turn on at night) and another brighter one for the brake light (only goes on when you press the brake pedal). You have replaced the bulb with the wrong type. You will need a 2057 bulb for the Integra.
What causes a light bulb to explode?
A light bulb can explode due to factors such as manufacturing defects, excessive voltage, or physical damage. When the bulb's components are compromised, the pressure inside the bulb can build up and cause it to shatter.
Why can't you use lightning to light a light bulb?
Cause' the bulb'll explode BOOM CRASH SPARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can you make a light bulb explode?
By dropping it on concrete ... doh! bang it too hard.. dahhhh
Why do light bulbs light up in the microwave?
the heat caused by the waves in the microwave heat the light bulb enough that it causes the fillament to light. There is a chance that the light bulb could explode though so don't try this at home.
Why do light-bulbs explode when wet?
its all about the electricity inside it. when the water gets into the light bulbs electricity gets irritated, that makes it explode. well, its either that or the light bulb just gets really angry at water that it explodes.
What causes a light bulb to explode in a thunderstorm?
A sudden lightning strike can induce a power surge in the electrical system, causing the light bulb filament to overheat and explode. The surge can overload the bulb, resulting in the rapid expansion and fragmentation of the filament. It is recommended to unplug electronic devices during a thunderstorm to prevent damage from power surges.
How do you make a light bulb EXPLODE?
well you can get a hallow ball no holes attach a fuse fill the hallow ball with gun powder
Will four extra volts make a small light bulb explode?
it all depends on what the bulb is rated for4 extra volts on a 120 volt bulb is negligable4 extra volts on a 1 volt bulb will definitely pop the element, but I don't think it would explodeAnswerDepends on the bulb voltage, but it shouldn't explode. If it's a 6volt bulb or lower, it would burn out quickly.If it's a 12volt bulb or higher, it may have a shorter life, but it would be brighter.
Would a light bulb bust if you colored it with a sharpie marker?
no but you might make it explode some other day
What happens if you power a 120v light bulb with 300v?
Of course this is a bad idea. It will likely look like a flash bulb and may explode the glass. Do not do anything like this.
How much electricity would it take to make a light build explode?
A normal light bulb can take up to 20-30 kilowatts so it all depends on what type of light bulb. My light bulb can take 15 kilowatts max and will blow out in an hour straight. So if your using some different type of light bulb like an Eco friendly one, look at the package to see for details or talk to your local electrician.
What happens when you place a light bulb in a little water and put it in a microwave?
the light bulb will light up because of the different heat waves in the microwave. If you want to try thisfirst you take a small cup and fill it with a little bit of water take a light bulb and place it in water then put it a microwave for ten seconds.note don't put in microwave for more than twenty seconds the light bulb will explode
