As for lamps, small lamps generally are available in several powers,
efficiencies and lifetimes with the same base and globe. Those with the
greatest efficiency ALWAYS have that shortest lifetime because they
operate the filament at the highest temperature. Its probably worth
searching (which may require acquiring a lamp catalog or two from the
lamp makers, and then buying lamps at a lamp distribution specialist
rather than 7-11 or Walmart) for the lower efficiency lamps with a much
greater expected lifetime. The discount stores are discount stores
because they have analyzed the sales record of every item, and stock
only those items that move fast. Lamps with short lifetimes should be
high on their charts, lamps with longer lifetimes don't make repeat
sales so often.

Gerald thanks for the clarification. That is funny about the CNG
requirements. I have always used GE bulbs from Fleetpride, and Peterson Mfg
lighting.. A good brand. It is just the vibration that always knocks out
the bulb filament.
Thanks again.
