I've never had much success with bulb life with the halogen work lights that use the long skinny glass bulbs. Average bulb life for me has been somewhere between 5 and 10 nanoseconds.
Found these guys on ebay, one of many I'm sure, who sell replacement LED bulbs that are a direct replacement for the long skinny glass tube. This is one of their bulbs installed in one of my lights

The really good thing about these bulbs apart from their robustness (you can actually move a light while it is switched on and the bulb does not fail) is that they are very low heat. This is a shot of me using an LED light as a temporary work light on my lathe, and it is brilliant, pun intended. There is no way you could use a halogen light in this manner, you would boil all the oil out of the headstock within 5 minutes. Not to mention severe operator discomfort.
