Screw Base Light

Why do the glass light bulbs in my ceiling keep separating from their metal base and falling down?
I recently moved. On a few occasions, the glass bulb portion of the light bulbs in my ceiling pot lights have dropped out of the ceiling. The bottom metal part of the light bulbs remain screwed into the pot light. I have never seen this before and am wondering if it indicates an electrical problem.
If this is happening often, I suggest removing all of the bulbs and replacing them with a quality name-brand bulb. Maybe a previous owner bought some of the bulk "el-cheapo" bulbs just to fill the sockets.
As long as you are replacing bulbs, replace the ones that stay on for longer than ten or fifteen minutes with fluorescent bulbs. These bulbs produce less heat and use less electricity. If the bulb is only on for a few moments each time, then do not spend the money on the fluorescent replacements, as you gain no appreciable savings.
You need to consider this problem as very dangerous. What you describe might lead to someone receiving an electrical shock or worse.
Good luck!
