WRONG!
In a totally series resistive circuit (wire and light bulbs) and a constant power source(120VAC), as the resistance goes up the current goes down. A bad contact (R2) will only add the resistance of the lamp(R1) and reduce the current. Do the math: I=E/R
Normal connection: I(current)= E(120V)/R1(lamp)
Bad connection= I (current)= E(120V)/R1 (lamp)+R2(contact)
I would look at neutral connections in the box or at the pole. Had this happen at my parents farm house. Lamps in some rooms lasted forever and in others, blew at short random times. Loose neutral at the pole.
