Lightbulbs stuck in ceiling fan

Dec 10, 2006 25 Replies

There's the old fuses that have bases like those on light bulbs. I know someone whose house uses 3 of those (30A fuses).

Coat all new bulb threads with silicone grease. Available at all auto parts stores - made for spark plug boots.

Americans like to screw !!!!!

Thanks everyone!

Silicon Grease it is.

I'll get some today.

I bought some of this stuff a few years ago and it works great.... haven't had a problem removing a single bulb since I started using it, and it used to be a MAJOR problem for me.

A little $4 tub will probably last you the rest of your life. The stuff is like silicon grease in appearance, only it has the consistency of a hard wax. A little goes a very long way.
