    My reflector light bulb is stuck in its ceiling holder. It turns in the holder but will not release from its socket. Any suggestions

    Sometime you can squeeze the outer part to hold the shell.
    You may try a pair of needlenose pliers, grab the metal edge of the bulb and turn in like a Sardine Can.
    If Shell spins freely and can't be tightened, you might want too replace socket.
