Using Sylvania flood lights in a recessed light fixture and I have noticed that I've had to replace 2 bulbs within a month. They used to last at least 6 - 8 months. What could be the cause?................Thanks

Any excess vibration in the area? Also, check the voltage; it might be slightly high, which shortens bulb life.
Good luck :)
