Oh boy, sounds scary. If I touch the outside at the same time as the

Take an electrical needle nose pliers and just latch onto the inside of the
broken bulb. Electrical needle nose pliers have rubber handles to insulate
you from electrical shock. And if you want to play it real safe stand on a
wooden chair or step ladder when you do this.

Hi, David
The electrical hazard is the easiest one to eliminate provided you know
which controls these lights and can be sure when it's on or off. The
maddening part is dealing with the glass component of the broken bulbs.
Obviously, the glass won't tolerate the amount of torque required to remove

So long as you can be certain that the lights are off while you work on the
bulbs you will be fine. Put a strip of tape over the switch in the off
position so you or someone else won't accidentally forget and turn it on
while you want it off.

Hi David,
If you make sure your power is off at the switch, you can go ahead and use a
pair of pliers, as was stated earlier.
If you don't have a pair of rubber handled pliers, you can cut a potato in
half, and use the flat side to press into the light socket.
The potato will grab onto the

Isn't one of the wires always hot, even though the light switch is off?

Nothing will happen if the switch is off! It disconnects the hot side so

The faucet analogy doesn't make sense to me. A pipe feeding the faucet
either
has pressure or it doesn't.
