Can Light Shuts off?

These light fixtures come with a feature that shuts them off to prevent overheating, since recessed lighting doesn't allow for a lot of room to breathe. Usually once the fixture has cooled sufficiently, the light comes back on. If your recessed lights are turning themselves off often, it's likely there's a problem.

Why does my can light keep going out?

Loose connections between the circuit and the fixture can cause light bulbs to burn out faster. Another potential problem is corroded contacts on the socket itself. In both cases, power to the bulb is intermittent, so it's essentially like turning the switch on and off repeatedly.

Loose wiring in a light fixture or the junction box it's connected to can cause the voltage going to the bulb to vary, which wears out bulbs quickly. Solution: Shut off the power at the breaker, and then remove the fixture.
