The old filament ones used to explode . Well, implode, actually. Probably defects in the glass, but I've seen them go like that many times in my childhood . The approach was not to get high-watt lightbulbs, but to have some humongous chandelier hang from the ceiling, with several low-watt light bulbs . There were the old soviet appartments for the party members which actually had multiple light switches so you could control which light bulbs were on. Pure insanity, looking back at it, especially since power outages were the norm.
At least, the power outages really made everybody equal in communism.
