After trying the voltage related solutions suggested by the
other posters, there is another item that may not have been
covered.... (I haven't read every reply)

Vibration puts stress on the bulb filament . Bulbs in ceiling
fans and utility lights are especially susceptible to the
"subtle" vibrations they see. Who among us hasn't dropped
a utility light on the ground only to see the bulb fizzle out ?

On additional solution is to buy bulbs classified as "rough
service"
bulbs, which are designed to be used in areas where shocks and
vibrations
may occur. They cost a little more, but may be a solution to your
problem......

Also, CFL and LEDs don't have the problem with filament stress,
and are usually more tolerant of voltage variations......
