Why is my kitchen burning out lightbulbs in a month?
SG-1:
A bad connection can cause this. It could be in the fixture, switch, or a junction in between.

How? Maybe with CFL or LED bulbs that have electronics in them, but incandescent bulbs don't mind rapid switching or voltage sags. If they're in a fan then it's almost certainly vibration.

I'll second this. The only time I've seen bulbs ping regularly was from corroded screw terminal connections in ceiling light cords. Rather than just break connection, it seemed to heat up causing the occasional flicker followed by a pop.
