Yeah.. incandescent bulbs will tend to blow because they burn out
during the on-cycle. Leave em on and they'll be ok.
Still:
there should be enhanced-durability bulbs that you can use :)
my point: dimly shining light bulbs can't be replaced by leds :P
Nothing like staring into that orange filament when it's 3 am and you
should have long gone to sleep. Hypnotizing.
