Lets say, I want to tell my roommate that one of the lightbulbs has stopped working, I usually say
The light bulb is gone or broken down.
I did some search related to these expression and it seems that they are not very common and will sound odd to the natives.
Answer
In the U.S., at least, it's not uncommon to hear:
The light bulb is burned out.
The expression can be found in writing sometimes, too.
