Bulbs that are sold as strobe bulbs are not meant to be lit constantly. They will either burn out really fast or melt whatever housing they're in.

What kind of lamp are you talking about?

Why not get another light that is meant to be a constant lamp?

I guarantee you a crappy strobe will not like being constantly on.
