Got a three bulb fixture in the kitchen. Nothing fancy, about a 15"
round woodtone base with three sockets that each hold a 60 watt bulb
and a frosted globe.
Bulbs in the one socket burn out about three to four times in ratio to
one bulb burning out in one of the other two sockets. Sometimes a new
bulb in this socket will burn out in a day or two.
Any idea what's causing this??


Bulbs can be affected by vibration, which is why you buy rough duty bulbs
for drop lights. Is there a source of vibration above the fixture? Maybe
foot traffic? If yes, you'd think it would affect all the bulbs, but not
necessarily.
