A standard screw in energy saver bulb has failed (not so sure about
the long life of these!). Unfortunately in unscrewing it (wall
mounted fixture), one of the glass tubes has broken. For the moment
I've abandoned the operation with the bulb still in place!

Any guidance on how I should progress please?

Thanks

Hi

Make sure the power is turned off at your distribution board, then
unscrew it with a thick rag or gardening gloves?

Put a plastic food bag over it first so you don't drop anymore bits of glass
on the floor.. it can be a b****r to clean up.
