You may not love this explanation but higher priced bulbs do actually come off better production lines. My family has been in the lighting industry for 30+ years and there are manufacturers that sell bulbs you can count on running for years. I own some bulbs that are used for a couple hours a day and have been in service in the same socket for almost 15 years! A quick tip though - with the standard incandescent bulb, make sure you get a higher wattage, but no higher than the socket can withstand, if you want the longest life. First read the fixture to see what the max size bulb it can handle, and if you can afford the energy, install that size and you should see an increase in life over whatever smaller bulb you were running (note: only applies to filament bulbs).
