Stan, >To test the theory, I keep an outside bulb on 24/7 that was always burning out. It's been on now for well over 6 months.<

What helps that bulb is that it's never turned off or on. Ever notice how lightbulbs often burn out as you turn them on? Flipping the switch causes a brief voltage spike.
