I have a 4 light ceiling fan in which one light constantly burns out. When a new bulb is replace it burns out repeatedly. What might cause this constant burn out?

If the socket holder rivet(inside bulb socket)is loose, it will be a loose connection and generate heat,may be what is blowing bulb.
Or the replacement bulbs are a bad batch.
I would use an existing bulb put in where bulb blows. Install a new bulb in the newly vacated socket.
See What blows, the new Bulb, or the bulb in the socket.

Fan vibration could affect one bulb more than another or poor air circulation. Any chance of either condition fitting your situation?

Because I now have a clue as to what might be causing my problem. I will pursue the reccomendation. Thank you.

I will certainly pursue you recommendation. Thanks for your help.

What type of fan light is this? The theory of checking the socket is a good one.

The answer received from this party seems interested in purchasing the fan rather than finding a solution to repair what is now the problem

What in the world are you talking about?

Yep, Ceilings comment is a general siging off thing, not part of the answer. He is definitely trying to help you.

Hi ballengerb1. I heard from others telling me the same. I responded by telling them that
Since I am new at this, I misunderstood his/her (Ceilings) intentions.
Have learned a lesson and will be careful in the future. Thanks for
Setting me straight.
