Lots of light bulbs going out 1

I seem to have an inordinate number of light bulbs going out at my house. It seems like 5 or 6 have gone out in the last few weeks. I've only been in the house for a few months, so I don't have any history. The bulbs are all in recessed cans and are mostly 65W indoor flood bulbs.

Is this just a weird coincidence or do I have some strange power quality problem?

Any thoughts?

Scotty, jraef; Thanks a lot. I appreciate your efforts. I will get a few Philips and try them in my kids rooms. Perhaps the exterior ones are better built to boot,(no venting).

Scotty; I set up an entire system for returns.. keeping the blister packs, labeling, the bulbs, and the receipts, to return the failures. That got labor intensive.

Let the testing begin!

Keith - since you missed it the first time GE would be the manufacturer. Once again - GE :)
 
LionelHutz; Thanks for persisting. I guess I was doing that 'moron' thang when I read your post.
I will pick up some GEs too (imagination at work). I like the quiet!
