In my experience, it depends on manufacturer and batch. Had some miniature
pot lights that took a 35 watt reflector. Bought a box of 12 bulbs, they
only lasted a couple of months each. Bought a second batch of 12 bulbs, and
they last a couple of years each. Finally used them up and bought some
Philips at the local HD store, they are still going and are at least 3 years
old. In the same vein, I have some 50 watt large reflectors where several of
the 19 original bulbs are still in daily use after 20 years. I can't figure
it out, I doubt anyone else can other than brand and batch. You get some
good ones and some bad ones.

Seems to blow every couple of months. They're just the normal priced
globes. Can't post a pic, no camera. I'm from Australia, I don't know
where you are from, we may have different manufacturers so I don't know
if a
description would be useful. It is a Phillips brand 25 watt globe.
