If the light is on about 2 hours per day average one complete bulb change per year would be about right.

Often the lamp will kill a dimmer when it blows.

Bulbs have about the same life. Yours seem to have been very close. You should be good now for a long time before any additional replacements.

I am from Ireland and I am not all that large, but honest, I did not do it.
