Kimberley,
My son works in lighting. He says, "The longer a lightbulb is left "on,"
the longer the life it will have. If you keep turning the switch "on and
off" the bulbs wear out quicker. Also when you replace a bulb, the switch
should be "off." If the switch is "on" when you replace the bulb, it
shortened the lifespan a great deal. You might also want to pay attention to
the wattage of the bulb and the wattage for the socket. If you put to high
of a bulb wattage, the bulb will burn out quicker and possibly could cause a
fire."
We have a light over our kitchen sink that stays on non-stop. The bulb
lasts about six years. We have been in this house for eight years and have
only changed it once. The light has been on every day and night for all
those years.
