“The other significant challenge that bulbs face, is that when the filament is cold (it has not been used in a while) its resistance to current is much lower than once in operation, so it suffers from a current spike when voltage is first applied. This is the reason most bulbs in the home die after a while - and they don’t die while they are ON, they die when you first turn them ON.”
