I contend that you should look at factors outside the electrical arena, because such things as bad grounds, loose connections, reversed hot/neutral(???makes no sense at all!!), should only serve to reduce voltage & prolong bulb life, not shorten it. An exception might be if the connection were so bad that the light actually went on & off, as in repeatedly switching on & off, where the 10X cold inrush current hurts the bulb life. Vibration, difference in rigidity of mount, heat caused by air flow differences, proximity of surroundings, etc. I didn't include high resistance connections to the bulb, because if it were so bad as to generate significant heat above & beyond the filament itself, the socket/wires/bulb base should be burned/charred & visible to the eye and likely flickering or dim light.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
