Default Stuck screw-in light bulbs.

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?

If it's still stuck, try a technique that sometimes helps for stuck
screws/bolts, tighten the bulb a little first. I think this serves
to break any bit of oxide that is gripping the threads. May help.
