House wiring? (slightly off-topic)

[Robert Donker]

You have a relatively new house showing what is an extraordinary behavior on
your AC. This is more likely a low AC voltage (remember, a 100 W bulb @ 100
volts draws 1 amp, a 100 @ bulb @ 50 volts draws 2 amps) causing excessive
current in the lights. This same effect IS causing excessive load on ALL the
electrical equipment in your house and you should be VERY concerned.
Changing bulbs with this frequency means you are getting about 10% of the
actual life of the light (usually 2000 hours of continuous operation). I
suspect you have completely lost 1/2 your circuit or completely lost your
ground. This can be dangerous and you need to have it checked by a qualified
(and bonded) electrician. This is not a DIY thing. Unless you're at least a
journey man level electrical technician.
