Am I imagining this, or is there something different about light bulb

Are the threads made of a different, presumably cheaper, metal? Is it
China's fault?


No, it would be the fault of people demanding cheap stuff. So the
manufacturers build to suit.



Being busy, I tend to let the chore of changing bulbs wait until I
find my wife in a miner's helmet with a disapproving look on her face.
So I change a few at a time. What a chore. Recessed fixtures can be
nearly impossible.

Has anybody else noticed this? Any solutions?
