Light bulbs keep blowing

I don't know whether list will help, but most of ours are low voltage halogen for bright lighting, or long life for more subtle lighting. Common areas- hall/ kitchen, are set on timed movement detectors to prevent excessive use.

It sounds like you have a wiring problem in your house or perhaps your light fittings themselves are getting old and corroded. We had this problem in our home a few years ago, but only in our main living areas. Once we replaced the old light fittings though, the problem was fixed.

How many kightsi do you use in the course of a night? I'm quite frugal in my electricity use (except for my computer) wind I also use the modern ones that use less watts and last for approximately five years. The chandlier in the dining room has all sockets filled, but I unscrewed all but two of them; that's all I need. Maybe I will screw them akin when I get company. If the same bulbs keep blowing, you may want to have the electricity checked.

I know. I think it is with regards the brands existing in the markets. It's really frustrating how these bulbs are not up to par.

the real problem should be that your lamp burns out because there must be variations in stress, this can burn all the appliances, depends on how strong are the power surges, but you do not understand why this happens. It is very bad quality of the bulbs you buy? try changing the brand or are thinking of buying protection for your electrical appliances before they burn, if you really going on with the tension that you receive in your home.

Coincidentally you bring this discussion as today I was explaining to my boyfriend that something has to be wrong as it seems every other day we are replacing a bulb or two. So what I was trying to explain that there must be something wrong in the wiring as any time we turn on a switch puff there goes the bulb. This happens in several different rooms. So maybe this is also occurring with you.

If that particular brand of light bulb keeps blowing, it's time to switch to another brand.. IF u really trust that brand, i guess the problem lies with either the wiring or the contact point for your bulbs ^_^ That's what happened to my friend's shop whereby her bulbs keep blowing every few days.. AFter we changed the set for her, everything is solved ^_^

Have you ever tried Energy Lightbulbs JJ, they are brilliant they lower the cost of your electric lighting, and last a lot longer than normal bulbs...if you have tried them and that hasn't worked I would check to see if your electrics are alright or not, other than that am lost for words....LoLo

Maybe you should think about buying some compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL's)?? My wife and I installed them in our new house when we bought it. It took a little bit of an investment to do it, because they are more expensive than incandescent bulbs, but they have been well worth the added cost. They use less electricity than old-fashioned bulbs, and they last A LOT longer than the old-fashioned ones. We bought our house in late 2006. We installed the CFL bulbs when we moved in. Amazingly, we haven't had to replace a single bulb during this time. So each bulb has lasted almost four years with no problems. I highly recommend them...

Sometimes the cheaper regular light bulbs pop and go out rather quickly. I have been getting those more expensive energy saver and I don't have that problem any more. It could also be paranormal and someone from the other side trying to contact you. I have heard of this happening before.

No matter when I change them it seems like they all blow about the same time, even the different types. And of course every time I buy more it costs more.

since i started using low energy light bulbs i only need to change mine about once a year,whereas before it was more like once a month

We've just gone through that recently in our house. The thing about it that really drives me insane is that the light bulbs that we were using in our house are CFL bulbs that are supposed to last for five years. Now, we've only owned our house for two and a half years and we don't use our lights on a regular basis, but still our lights don't have nearly the life that the lightbulb companies say that they will have.

check out your house wiring there may be some shot circuit

Oh I hear you. I really hate the new type of light bulbs that are suppose to last longer, I don't think they do. It seems like we are always replacing them and no we don't leave them on all the time.

hi jugsjugs in our last apartment the wiring was less than desirable and ordinart light bulbs just did not last so we started putting in those screwy looking ones that last for five years and really cut down on your electric bill. we replaced all with those screwed looking ones and they last and last. I don't remember what they are called but they do last and they take way less electricity too.

Why don't you get some of the bulbs that are suppose to last for a couple of years? They're more expensive, but in the long run you are saving money and energy.

As soon as a light bulb burns out and I replace it, I buy that type of bulb. That way I am never stuck in the dark without the correct bulb. Also I avoid last minute trips to the store and I hate to shop!

So, why it was so easy for the light bulbs to be blown? Was the circuit or something else? You should hire an electrician to check it out first, otherwise, you just waste your money keep on buying those light bulbs.

Light bulbs keep blowing I know what you are talking about it happens at my home all the time. I have a lamp that is suppose to have 5 light bulbs and it only has 1 working one.I hate it as much as you do.
