10. Totally right

I am tasked with changing light bulbs for my mother. I swear to God, I had to change one ever ten days--the burnout rate on those is phenomenal. It was, and still is, like pulling teeth to get her to change. I had to nearly force her as "I don't like the light," or "they are too dim" or "I hate to change anything ever in my life." (ha) But I did and now it's more like once ever few months.

A lot of hers are enclosures, so they burn out quicker, as they don't like them as they get hot. Plus it took them a while to narrow down the size, so they didn't dink on the glass, or the neck was too big for some enclosures.

They have them for motion lights now too, and they have problems with making them fit in those too. I took the cover off on one to make it work.
