I'm in two minds about this. With light bulbs I wait until they burn out 
before I replace them whereas my car's brakes are checked every 3 months 
and repaired/replaced before anything goes.

For a given situation, if a failure isn't going to be potentially 
catastrophic why put in excessive effort? It would drive me nuts to 
regularly get out a light meter to check the luminance output of a light 
bulb and a electric meter to check how much current it's using. 
Sometimes, isn't "good enough" good enough?
