Some gas discharge bulbs (including fluorescent and HID) will fail early if dimmed below specifications due to uneven cathode wear. Halogens also wear out early due to halogen corrosion.
But normal incandescent, LED, and most cold cathode bulbs will last longer at low powers.

Got my Cycle Ops bike trainer stand for under $50 on ebay.

Still expensive for what it does. Considering that 3 ton jackstands are available new for as little as $20, the bike stand should cost more like $10-$15.
