Hi Andy and all,
Just in case you haven't spotted it in my previous buls here's your
answer. Just turn them on for short periods not giving them sufficient
time to completely warm up and you'll see yourself replacing them more
frequently than those left on all the time. A bit of an extreme but
effective test I can confirm living in a rooming house environment. By
law hallways must be under constant illumination so the lamps are on
continuously while those in bathrooms are only switched on for short
periods. The landlord replces them at a greater rate than those in the
halls, I have seen it myself. The one over my computer is on hour after
hour while the ceiling lamp only goes on when I need high illunination
but I haven't noticed anything significant, the fact is I brought them
over from another location and haven't replaced either... yet. The ones
that were originally in the ceiling lamp are low wattage and sitting in
my closet, maybe I bought better bulbs, I don't know. (;->)
When it comes to taking a licking and keep on ticking you're a bit more
confused than Bob. The old analog wind up Timex watches ticked and you
can lick them to keep the crystal clean, I wouldn't recommend doing that
with a lamp especially when it's on. If it ticks it has a serious defect
or maybe it's a bomb, in either case I suggest you replace it.
