You may have moisture leaking into the base of the socket and shorting out the bulb. Get a rubber washer that fits around the neck of the bulb from the Hardware store. Put the washer on and screw in the bulb. We and a few neighbors had the same problem as yours and the washer fix worked for us. "Builders Quality" fixtures used by The Villages leaves a lot to be desired. Usually one step up from WalMart.
