Jim Thompson said:[snip]Are they blowing up on turn on or is it when the voltage surges? If its
the former, most likely, why not rig up a dimmer circuit with a shunt
relay with a delay-on timer of say 5 seconds. Then everytime the
circuit is turned on, the lamps will soft start for a few seconds giving
the filaments time to warm up a bit.

Good point. You're right, they almost always fail at turn-on.

Jim,
You might want to check your 240V balance. I had a situation here where the
kitchen light got brighter every time the dishwasher turned on.
