I have some light fittings where the bulb is tightly screwed in. The bulbs
almost appear to be glued in. I can't remove them for fear of breaking the
bulb. Any suggestions for loosening the bulbs? How about WD 40 or some such?

Yep, try spraying the base of the bulb with WD 40 and let
sit for a few minutes (or overnight if you wish). You are
likly to have to bite the bullet and just twist and they may
break. No big deal, just use a leather glove and a thick
towel. Don't forget to turn the fixture off, or better,
flip the breaker. If it blub breaks try the old potato
trick-- shove a potato tapered into the base and turn the
potato. You may end up having to grab the base with a pair
of needle nose pliers and twisting the base.
