Expenses paid, but by who? :D


Naturally via the 'Go Fund Me' collection that will gather more donors than posters on this discussion (?).

Manufacturer of the tool that solves the problem! ???

As long as no Trump is involved there could be some funding left over for the winner.

jam a potato into the broken bulb socket. It should twist out.

Collapse the bulb base with a center punch or a small (1/4" or so) cold chisel in one spot until you have a large enough opening to get a needlenose jaw between the bulb and socket and collapse it some more? I am thinking using the needlenose sort of like a spam can key.

FWIW, I have heard of this happening more and more with bulbs galling in sockets, and at least one person suggested a small amount of oil smeared on the threads of every new bulb before installing.
