Here's A simple problem I hope !!
 Why do the light bulbs in my house keep on blowing all the time , it's got to stage where i have had to empty a cuboard of all my porn just to keep spare light bulbs.

PS It is a serious question LIght bulbs or bad wiring

Hi,
Difficult to say - is it just one particular light in one room? Does it happen randomly all over the house?
How often?
Usual causes are - poor or bad connection in the lighting circuit concerned. This could be at the CU, or the actual light fitting(s) or there may be a bad connection somewhere in a junction box.
The problem is also caused by the purchase and fitting of cheap 'supermarket' light bulbs which don't last 5 minutes!
One other thing might be a higher than normal mains supply voltage, which you'd have to measure with a meter.
We really need for info in order to give you better-infomred advice mate - sorry for the delay.

Out of interest why would that cause more frequent bulb failure? I know bulb lifetime is effected by being switched on and off (eg thermal shock) but are you thinking that a bad connection might cause it to switch on and off? Wouldn't you notice it flicker?

If it any help they always blow when I put "on" the light switch ,could it be like a power surge
