Dibbler

I sometimes run into the problem where I won't replace a bulb for almost a year and then all of a sudden I spend the next 2 or 3 weeks changing burnt out bulbs everywhere. It's almost as if I'm suddenly getting spikes in the electricity which causes all the bulbs to burn out. Could the problem be that he's getting spikes to the bulb? If the apartment was at the end or beginning of the line from the transformer would it cause problems with electrical spiking due to other apartments turning on and off lights? Or maybe it has some crappy wiring and the light is on the same circuit as say the garbage disposer and when the garbase disposer is used it's causing electrical spikes to hit the light causing it to burn out?

Sorry not much help, I do a lot of wiring but don't know much beyond the basics.
