Blowing light bulb

[mikegray]

My landing light bulb blows on a regular basis ( 2 weeks)
it takes the MCB out with it
Could this be due to a problem in the wiring or some external event
or is that i am using crap bulbs ( the light is left on all night so does get more use than all the others )

i would expect a bulb to last more than 2 weeks
and i cant see how a wiring fault can blow a bulb

thanks

Mike
