OK, since nobody else has piped-up, I'll mention it.

If you want longer life light bulbs, go down to your local store and
buy some.  Most of the big manufacturers already produce bulbs that
operate at somewhat reduced efficiency but give considerably longer
life.  Brands like Turtle-Light (tm, no doubt).  GE Long-Life (ditto).

I feel a flame coming on...

The easy way to make a light bulb last forever is to disconnect the
power to it.  This lowers both the electric bill and replacement cost!

Sheeesh!  How cheap can people get?  If I won a lifetime supply of
light bulbs on a game show I don't think that I'd be very ecstatic!
I musta spent 5 bucks on light bulbs last year, maybe more!
