How many times have you come home from a long day at work only to find one of your bulbs has burned out? You probably hate the idea of purchasing a light bulb only to replace it within a few months. Not only do you have to spend money on the bulb, but you also have to stop whatever you’re doing and change the light bulb, which can be a huge hassle. There are a few common reasons why light bulbs burn out:
What could cause a light bulb to burn out
There are a few different issues that cause light bulbs to burn out. These include the age of the light bulb, the quality of the light bulb, or a problem with the light socket that the light bulb is plugged into. However, the most common reasons for lights burning out are: high voltage, bulb has come to end of life, poor quality wiring, dampness, faulty switch, poor insulation, wire touching other wiring, bulb is too close to metal, and
Another common reason for light bulbs burning out is being left on by accident. Light bulbs can take a while to warm up to full brightness, and so people often walk in a room, turn on the light, and walk away, forgetting to turn it off. Some people also think it is okay to leave the light on because it is only a nightlight, but any light bulb left on for a long period of time will burn out.
How to make your light bulbs last longer
If you are having problems with your light bulbs burning out too quickly then you should check that you have a good quality lamp and that the bulb is being used as it should be. You can also keep them going for longer by making sure they are not exposed to extreme temperatures. Light bulbs should never be left in a hot car or in your freezer. They should also be kept away from moisture and water.
Incandescent light bulbs are inefficient, fragile, and burn out easily. Unless you do something to extend their life, they’re more or less destined to burn out within a year. The filament inside these bulbs is not as robust as the newer halogen and LED bulbs. As a result, they can burn out more quickly than newer technologies. Note that if you’re using a halogen or LED bulb in an incandescent light fixture, it could also lead to a quicker burnout.
How will light bulbs affect your electric bill
Did you know that as much as 10% of electricity used in an average home is consumed by incandescent light bulbs? The good news is that when you use compact fluorescent light bulbs and LED bulbs instead, you can save money, reduce your impact on the environment, and conserve energy. LED light bulbs can save you a lot of money in the long run, but in order to get the most longevity out of them, you need to keep them up to code. To make sure your LED lights last as long as possible, you have to make sure they are installed properly and get them regularly maintained.
