Hi guys, first time posting...
In our basement, we have two halogen light fixtures installed by an electrician. At first, these fixtures were installed to be using these lightbulbs (http://searchlighting.com/images/pics/satco/BULB_S3150.jpg)(the ones with the two prongs that plug into a circular base). One of the two light fixtures has an issue where the light bulb always burns out within a month. We thought there was an issue with the fixtures. So I swapped out both fixtures with completely new systems that use these lightbulbs (https://www.storesonlinepro.com/files/1974975/uploaded/Philips%20PAR30L%20Halogen%20Light%20Bulb-Higher%20Res%20-%20Cropped.JPG) (50watt bulbs).
We still seem to have the same issue in the same fixture location as before. Now I`m sure there is something wrong with wiring but I`m not sure what it could be. Why does this fixture location always prematurely burn out the bulb?

In home lighting.
