what kind of light is it? Incandescent bulbs can generally burn for quite a while, but if left on continuous, will only last for a few months. Also, Repeated turning on and off will affect the bulbs filament. Everytime a bulb gets turned on, it loses a minute portion of this filament. So cut down on the light switch toggling might also help.

If it's a flourescent tube, it could be that there is a bad ballast in the fixture. In this case, see about replacing the ballast, or the fixture all together.

DO YOU USE THIS LIGHT MORE OFTEN THAN THE OTHERS? THIS MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM.
