IMHO:

Check for arcing on the bulb. You might have a bad connection with
the screwing socket.

BTW, humidity might be effecting also, so ensure the bulb is screwed
in securly.

Guessing ifyou have higher than average household voltage all your
lights would have problems not just this one.


If it were a floating neutral it could also cause high voltage, on one
circuit (while causing low voltage on the other) . However since we are
talking about light bulbs burning out as fast as they do, I would guess the
OP would have said something about how bright the lamps were and likely
noticed other problems.
