[Help] How do I get these bulbs out?

[Questions]

Slightly related. I have a light fitting which I thought was bayonet but is screw fixed. As a result I pulled the bulb out breaking it but left the screw fitting attached to the light fitting. It's a long connicle fitting so awkward - any ideas how to remove the screw fitting so I can replace? It's 4 weeks since I've done and haven't worked it out yet!

Small snipe plyers

Tricky, but probably just try to grip what you can with a pair of needle-nosed pliers, and twist it out?

Knock the wall and/or ceiling down and start again.

Looks like there's a small kangaroo trying to get out of might

I thought this was going to be an oblique reference to tulip bulbs in anticipation of Thursday.

Squishy rubber ball. Also good for changing watch batteries.

This thread could be illumination-defining.

Yep push and turn. Wear some rubber gloves for PURCHASE.

Kitchen spotlight in my mum’s kitchen.

No obvious way to get purchase on it other than trying to push it in a bit and try to rotate in both directions.

None of the three budge at all.

Is there a metal O ring round the edge holding the bulb in which you need to remove, or is that part of the bulb/fitting?

If the lamp is blown, how do you know if it's on or off?

How lucky do ya feel

Bulbs grow.

Lamps glow.

Depends if the switch controls more than just the one lamp!

(but yes, otherwise - power off ffs!)
