Just FYI when you replace the bulbs are you touching the area thats shines the light with your fingers? I know in automotive bulbs if you touch them on the glass surface with your fingers, the oil from your fingertips collects on the bulb. The oil gets hot and causes the bulb to fail prematurely. I use Zoomed bulbs too, and noticed that they do have the shortest lifespan of all the bulbs I have used, but mine usually last 5-6 months. In comparison I have had the same CHEs for 3 years of constant use, and they are fine still. Definately worth the money if your stricly using the bulb for heat.
NOTE with CHEs they get incredibly hot!!! I have actually had instances where I have taken the CHEs out and replaced them with bulbs. After installing the bulbs they burnt up the light fixture. It seems the CHEs melt the contacts to the CHE and when you remove them it breaks the fixture. They seem to weld themselves to the contacts.
