Default how to remove bulb "frozen" in socket

Will appreciate any clues on how to remove a light bulb that seems to

Has ceramic "lampshade" which cannot be removed without removing bulb
first. Last time this happened in similar situation the bulb ended
being broken which made a big mess.


Well the suggestion made should help you get the lamp out. Once you get
it out, take the rest of them out as well. Now go to the hardware store and
buy new 60W lamps that have real brass threds not aluminum or brass colored
aluminum threads. Those cheaply made (but some times over priced) lamps are
the cause of your problem.
