when i was in colledge (@ past CCCP times) what we did was tapping or snapping your nails against the 60W bulb (preferably when the light is on)
the effect was that it got brighter and brighter until it burned out
by calibrating your snapping it was possible to reach the state where the bulb got as bright as 80W one (only it was more white by color temperature)
that reduced it's service time to half and less of that of it's average normal
but as the 60W bulbs were cheaper and more available in stores the method paid off
i do get that the glow spring inside the bulb must got ?thinner - but i can not exactly imagine the actual processes involved
