An electrician is needed for doing lot of things. If you own a home and have problems with your electricity then you need to call an electrician. An electrician can fix your electrical jobs safely.

When some problem occurs at your home you must be trying to solve it by yourself. But if the problem is related to electricity then you should not take any risk. If you do not have apt knowledge to repairing the problem then you should not even touch it. An improper way to tackling such situations can prove to be deadly. Hence, hire an expert to help you out.

You should not put yourself or your family in jeopardy just to save money. You need to know when to step back and let someone else (a skilled professional) do the job safely. If the work is easy and convenient to do then you can think of doing it yourself. The tasks like replacing a light fixture can be done by you and you need to be very alert while performing such tasks.

A broken bulb is not so difficult to replace but all you need is to be careful while doing it as it can prove to be dangerous if not done carefully. Before starting the process, cut off the power of that fixture. Cut the power of the circuit breaker of that bulb and if the bulb is a part of a table lamp then cut all the power supply to this lamp.

Next put on a pair of protective leather gloves in hands and safety glasses to protect your eyes especially if you are working on an overhead fixture. A hat also helps in keeping any remaining glass off your head. You may also put down a tarp to catch any remaining broken glass from the old bulb if you are removing a broken light bulb from a ceiling or wall light fixture.

With the help of both the hands, insert the pliers as far as possible into the broken base. Spread the handles apart and exert force against the sides of the bulb base with the tips of the pliers and rotate the pliers in the counter-clockwise direction.
