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

Turn off light. Put on a leather glove.


Use a PVC-coated glove. It will grip the glass far better, so you
don't have to squeeze as hard, greatly increasing your chances of not
breaking the bulb.


How about putting a touch of anti-seize compound on the threads of the
new bulb before installing? Can anyone confirm/refute that? Or, how
about spraying the threads with Molybdenum Disulfide?
