Incandescent Bulbs

[Jerry — MacSolutions]

With the evident death of incandescent bulbs, perhaps my question is  
more than latent... But, I seem to be blowing up bulbs more often  
lately.

Most of my switches "dim on" and off so they seem to last longer than  
the "full on" ones.  I know the blast of electricity will shake the  
filament until it breaks but as I said, they seem to be blowing more  
often of late, with no programming changes involved.

Does anyone use bulbs designed for garage door openers and would they  
last longer?  I know that they're made more toughly to deal with the  
vibration involved with the electric motors...
