The bulbs burned out so fast. It concerned me, and I ended up calling an electrician to put in a new light fixture. I have not had a problem since. He did not notice any damage to the wires that was apparent, but obviously something was wrong. I know that, personally, I feel much better now that I do not have bulbs burning out quickly----there had to be something wrong.

So, I would replace it. Something isn't right.

The simplest thing to check would be the socket itself. AllenVanAllen Apr 2012 #3

Thanks, I'll try that. no_hypocrisy Apr 2012 #4

Good luck! AllenVanAllen Apr 2012 #5

Some people use standard incandescent bulbs, base up. And/or too big a bulb for the socket. RC Jul 2012 #6
