Either an electrical problem that's burning them out or shitty bulbs.
If you have a dimmer switch, you have to get dimmer compatible bulbs.
+1 on that as a potential issue. Don't recall the brand, but I had bought a pack of light bulbs where the whole pack was having issues, to the point I called an electrician to check. When the electrician came and saw the brand he told me "those are garbage" and that he had seen plenty of people having issues with that brand.
I threw those away, bought some other brand. The exact same places where I was having to replace light bulbs often no longer had any issues.
What brand is it?
Don't recall the brand. Threw the remaining ones out.
