Could put a bulb in a normal socket, observe the briteness.
Then put it in this fixture, see if it is perceptibly brighter.
If it is, you have a voltage problem, which could be a neutral wire
problem. As was suggested, a voltmeter the right way to go, if you
have one. Cheapies, less than $10, are more than adequate.

It does sound like a neutral problem to me as well.



The light in my kids closet burned out. I replaced it and it burned
out w/in a day. I thought I had a bad bulb, so I replaced it again
and it too burned out w/in a day. I decided to put one of those
heavy duty bulbs in, and it burned out the same day. So I figure
there is something wrong with the fixture, and I replace it with a
new one. I put a bulb in and guess what, w/in 2 hours the bulb is
burned out! Weird. I didn't see anything unusual with the wiring
when I replaced the fixture. I don't want to have a fire, so I'm not
doing anything else until i find out what's causing this. Any ideas?
