This guide will not only save you money in the long run but will also save you some time and trouble on this recurring task or replacing the bulbs. There are several reasons light bulbs might burn out soon, such as:

The current delivered to the bulb will vary if the wiring in your fixture has deteriorated or become loose. Variations in current trigger wear and stress on your globes, behaving like regular mini power surges.

It is critical to remember that attempting to repair your home’s wiring on your own is both unsafe and illegal. Hiring a certified skilled electrician will always give you peace of mind, ensuring that the electrical work was done safely, saving you money over the long term.

If the fixture that houses the bulb is partly or completely sealed, excess heat will build up across its surface the longer it is left on. Many lamps, especially LEDs, suffer a marked decline in durability when they are subjected to extreme heat. Some of these lights include:

• Ceiling fan light fixtures
• Recessed lighting
• Outdoor wall lights
• Ceiling domes and flush wall lighting

Screwing in the light bulbs very tightly will trigger a connection fault by shifting the location of the brass tab inside the socket out of alignment. This means that the tab would no longer be able to make a secure connection with the light bulb’s base, possibly resulting in short and abrupt electrical arcs.

These arcs will eventually create a hole in the bulb’s base, allowing air to penetrate. Resist the urge to use your finger to reposition the brass tab inside the socket, as this would almost certainly result in an electrical shock. Always be cautious and consult a certified specialist to identify and handle your electrical needs.

If you recently changed your lights to LEDs but still have incompatible dimmer switches, your lights can have a shorter lifetime. Since LEDs have a different circuit than older incandescent bulbs, older dimmer switches will cause the lights to flicker or go out and should be replaced or upgraded.

The standard voltage in your residence in Australia should be 240V. However, if your home receives more than this amount regularly, your bulbs will tend to burn out sooner. If this is the case, you can call a trained electrician right away. Keeping in mind that many electrical problems in the home do not happen during business hours, and a 24-hour emergency electrician will gladly fix this problem for you.

This is a common problem in ceiling fans with bulb fittings. If the fan is unbalanced, it can cause vibrations in the lighting fixture as it rotates. This causes the light bulb filament to shake, reducing the life of the bulb.
