For what you pay buying cheap bulbs you would save money by buying dearer bulbs and using the rubber sucker to fit them. Ipresume they are GU10 bulbs. Try using Osram or another good brand.

two reasons,cheap bulbs,or you are touching them with your hands,you must use gloves or rubber sucker to replace the bulb,if you touch bulb with fingers you will leave a grease print on bulb that will cause a heat spot that will blow the bulb
