Removing broken light bulb

Unplug it and use needlenose pliers to twist it out

Before you start to remove it as pr instructions above, lean lamp (with shade removed) over garbage bag, to catch the bits of broken glass from the light bulb that sometimes fall around when the neck begins twisting. 'Much easier than trying to look for them, and then trying pick the tiny pieces off the floor.

Use a potao, gently push onto the broken socket and turn

I've used a carrot before. One that fits into the threads.

After unplugging the lamp and getting the pieces of glass removed, use a bar of soap to put in socket and turn. Works every time.

Use a potato! It's cheap, simple, and effective.

use a cork, works great.

Cut the potato in half first to make it more manageable. After you've unplugged the lamp, push the potato half onto the broken light and unscrew. Good luck!

someone already told u what i did a half cut potato Should work it worked for us GOOD LUCK dhall

A 3-4 inch piece of old garden hose is what I use. Its the right diameter that fits perfectly in most standard light bulb bases. It's hollow so it fits over the stem that sticks up. I keep a piece in my tool box just for that purpose.

unplug lamp insert slot screwdriver and gently bend inward creating a hole big enough to get your needle nose plier into, turn to unscrew.
