one light fixture bulb burns out after 1 month, why?

Not sure this is a problem, but thought I would ask here, I recently had a an outside light which was over the middle of my garage door removed, and replaced with two lights, one on on either side of the door. The light bulb on one of the lights keeps burning out after a month. I buy the rough service bulbs but that doesn't seem to help. I had an electrician check the wiring, he said everything appeared ok, but it bothers me that it keeps happening, and only to that one side. The bulb on the other side has lasted about 3 months before it had to be replaced. So while the bulbs aren't lasting as long as I think they should be, this one bulb appears to be a problem. If the wiring isn't a problem, any opinions on what it might be? Should I try to buy more expensive bulbs> These bulbs are hanging in the upside down position, would that be decreasing life, and if so, why one bulb and not the other? ANy opinions welcome. Thanks!
