Just today I was looking or a load for my new inverter. Found lamp with
clamp, bulb was very hard to get out. Found 100 watt bulb. In the mean
time
I looked up on the shelf for some kind of spray. I would have used WD-40
if It was there. This old can I have not used for years. Elmers dry spray
with TFE. Spray, and worked the bulb. Socket works now.

Don't use anti-seize.


I don't think I would do it in an oven,but for bulbs that are hard to
remove, if you spray the socket with the bulb in it with some penetrating
oil such as Kroil and wait about 30 seconds it will screw out very easy. We
do this at work on some of the 150 to 400 watt Mercury Vapor and other types
of bulbs. Just a quick shot between the bulb and socket will do it.
