Think about it. Thousands of times a day, these things heat up and cool down. It’s a brutal cycle of expanding and contracting. If the supports holding that tungsten wire aren&rsquo;t exactly right, the filament starts to sag. Once it drops, you&rsquo;ve got a problem. The wire hits the quartz glass, creates a crazy hot spot, and the glass softens. Then?**Pop.**The lamp burns out way before it should.</p>
