Default How to screw in a light bulb.

That you are able to remove 98% of your bulbs without pliers after breaking
them is impressive indeed!

A little anti-seize compound on the threads makes them easier to remove.

2%
of my bulbs seize up and have to be removed with needle nose pliers after
breaking the bulb.

How many people screw in a light bulb by turning off the light, screwing

in
the bulb in tight and turning on the light?

This, according to my electrician, is the wrong way.

Apparently, the correct way to screw in a light bulb is to keep power to

the
socket on and screw the light only until it lights up. This prevents the
contact in the base of the socket from getting crushed which makes it

harder
to get contact with each subsequent bulb.
