TIP OF THE WEEK
What’s the safest way to remove a light bulb that is stuck in a socket? First, unplug the lamp or turn off the power at the breaker box. Wearing thick gloves and eye protection, wiggle the bulb to loosen it at the base. If it’s still stuck, place a cover over the bulb and break it off, along with the filament. Insert a rubber jar opener into the base and slowly twist counterclockwise to remove it. It may take several tries to do this. Before replacing the bulb, wipe the empty socket with a dry cloth.
