We have a light fitting with three lights that take a smaller type of globe
than the more common ones. It seems they are blowing much more often than
they should. Does anybody know why? Is the wattage too high or too low?
Or is there a problem with the fitting itself? Do I need to call an
electrician?
Thanks for any help.

Aprox how often do they fail? How expensive are they? Please post a
pic of the bulb or a more specific description.

Seems to blow every couple of months. They're just the normal priced
globes. Can't post a pic, no camera. I'm from Australia, I don't know
where you are from, we may have different manufacturers so I don't know if a
description would be useful. It is a Phillips brand 25 watt globe.
