A 130V or heavy-duty design bulb will almost certainly solve the problem
unless there is an actual problem in the fixture or circuit itself
(which we can't tell from here).

130V, superlonglife and inductrial/shock/vibration duty incandescents
also produce less light for the amount of electricity consumed than
"standard" incandescents, generally 15-25% less. Use CFLs where you can.

They'll solve OP's problem though, which was the point of the posting.

I personally can't stand the fluorescent light where I want
incandescent, efficiency or no efficiency. That's me, though and I'll
be the first to admit to being an old fogey...
