I have had issues w/ those try getting a Exo Terra basking bulb -- see if they work better - I use them and they seem to last longer than the Zoo Med Repti basking ones

These bulbs can be incredibly fickle and it's super frustrating when they burn out so fast. Have you tried switching brands and/or fixtures?
