Which is why people use surge suppressors for electronics. Most people don't buy them for their lights though. All my electronics are on surge protector except for alarm clocks. Even my cordless phone base is on protection. Oh BTW I also buy commercial grade bulbs. They will take lots of abuse. For example you put a standard bulb in say a five story building there is a good chance it won't last a week possibly not a day. I buy what we used at work in the six story building and no problem. Multi story buildings higher than say three stories due to internal support systems and structural factors tend to vibrate a lot. On most bulbs at present voltage I get nearly a year use.
You can get a whole house surge protector that goes in your breaker panel.

The above have been around for awhile. I believe somebody makes them that install like common circuit breakers making installation easier.
