light bulb blew up

I bought a China cabinet from Ashley. There are 2 lights that shine down on the glasses and China. Both bulbs went out at the same time. One of them actually shattered. They are on a timer and run for 5 hours a day. They are maybe 2 months old. Other bulbs in new fixtures seem to be dying before their time also. The house was built in '96. Is there anything i can check? I'm thinking about switching over to LED.
