Hey WW,
I have standard ceiling cans with flood lights throughout my house. These were installed with the house brand new 7 years ago. We go through a TON of light bulbs. Like in the kitchen we have 6 flood bulbs and I probably change them about every 2-3 months. In the bathrooms we have a few 3 bulb fixtures with standard bulbs and those go out about once a month. I have tried cheapy bulbs, expensive bulbs, high efficiency and even tried LED and nothing works. We only even use the bulk of these lights for 2-3 hours per day. It's mostly the can lights that burn out.
Any thoughts? Anything I can check? Any other bulbs that might help this? I think it is probably ballast related, but changing those cans is probably a nightmare?
We don't have any other electrical issues with the house and I don't think the power has ever gone out.
