    My name is Freda. Frustrated by a light bulb that won't come out from a track light on the ceiling.

    I would be very appreciative if someone out there can help me with this problem.::confused:

    I would remove from track, carefully remove excess glass with protected hand, protect eyes, Some use a potato, I use my Leatherman, or needlenose pliers, Twist the bulb shell counter clockwise, it will make the bulb threads smaller, continued turning will remove.
