Done a private job the other day and fitted 4 mains downlights. Went back the next day and one of the lamps had blown. Few days later the rest have gone. I am getting blamed and they won't pay me as the think the problem is with me! Even though they had them on all the time
 
It was a make I had never heard of and the weren't top of the range lamps. I said to the owner gu10s don't last long if there on constantly ask any electrician. She replied there brand new they should last longer than 2 hours. They a 2 woman living there so what the hell do they know.
 
Could blow because of loose connection in fitting, might be yours or the lamps holders connection on fitting, loose lamp connectors or just cheapo lamps that cant handle the heat.

IMO cheap fitting and lamps always cause problems.
