re-occuring faults on spot lights?

i have a room of spotlights, and the same two spotlights blow within a week of replacing them. please can you advice.

May be an overheat issue - the two troublesome light fittings may not have adequate space for the hot air to disperse - lamps run hotter and fail prematurely.

Check airspace above bad lights and compare to airspace of lamps that perform well.

Good luck...

Not sure if your spotlights are mains ( 240v ) or low voltage. If they are low voltage its possible that maybe the transformer is faulty.

Are you sure that you are installing the correct bulb ?
Do the two bulbs blow together ( at the same time )?
