this is a table lamp where the glass cone shade flares upward. The bulb hasn't broken yet, and the shade won't com off until the bulb is broken or removed.

Unplug the lamp. Tap the bulb and break it ...outside the house preferably over a garbage can. Get some needle nose pliers and remove the bulb by holding the filament or the edge of the bulb.
If the cone shade comes off even better. m

step one turn off power to the bulb and unplug the lamp. Step 2 placed on shielding gloves. Step 3 Grip the metallic lip of the bulb with needle- nostril pliers. Step 4 gently unscrew the bulb base, turning it a similar way you'll an unbroken bulb. Watch your hands even as turning the bulb base. Sheered glass remnants could nevertheless be interior. Step 5 get rid of the bulb base from the socket. Step Six be particular to hoover up any damaged glass from the floor.

UNPLUG THE LAMP FIRST. Using pliers and wearing a leather work glove, break the bulb, and after clearing the debris, shove the tip of the pliers into the base and unscrew it. A little Vaseline on the bulb will prevent this.

Did you get the lamp shade off? If so, I use a pair of pliers to do this. Grab a hold of the side piece or a piece you can get a hold of, and twist. Make sure the lamp is NOT pugged in when you do this.

What do you mean stuck?
Is the bulb just screwed in too tight?
Is it broken?
I have had broken bulbs that I had to remove with pliers or even by splitting the aluminum in the bulb base to get it out.

can you get a potato to fit in it? if so, take one and stick it down on the broken bulb so that the bulb sticks in it and then turn the potato just like your twisting out the bulb!
well shoot, when I started answering, you had no answers!
