How to unscrew the bursting of the light bulb from its socket

Whatever it seemed to be ridiculous question, but sometimes there are situations that the lamp socket is still in the cartridge, and you have in the hands of the very glass bulb. Or the lamp exploded, and remained in the cartridge base with sharp edges of the glass spilled.

But in such moments, and the question arises, how do you extract it. In this article I will discuss several ways, these should allow fairly easy to deal with this problem.

Training

Before you look for options, how to unscrew the remainder of the light bulb, you need to worry about security. So the first thing you need to de-energize the future place of work. To do this, go to the distribution board and there disable machine feeds the aforesaid it is this lighting group. If you have a wiring is not divided into groups, in this case, disable the general introductory machine.

Further, if you have this trouble happened at night, then it is necessary to arrange the backlight. To do this, from the outlets remain powered, powered through the carrying of light. If you have no light in the whole house, then it will go light on your cell phone or flashlight.

You should also think about the remaining fragments, discharge the same can fall out while unscrewing the cap, so in place of the likely drop glass should lay rags.

So, we are prepared, we can now start twisting.

method One

We use pliers or Utica. First thing in the tool removes residual glass (that in the process they are not scattered all over the floor twisting). Utica then grabs the edge of the base and with the other hand holding the cartridge, unscrew it.

If the cap "dead" sits in the cartridge, it is possible to bend pliers plinth inside, and then try to twist.

second method

For this option, you'll need a plastic bottle and ordinary lighter. Oddly bottle neck diameter almost perfectly coincides with the inner diameter of the cap. Therefore, in order to unscrew the remains of the lamp warm up the edge of the bottle neck, quickly insert the end into the melted base and give time to cool plastic (15-20 seconds, no more). All are now carefully extract the socket.

the third method - Twisted cartridge itself

I want to immediately say that this method is not suitable for the vast number of modern ceramic cartridges in the chandeliers. He will work if you have a lamp made of old-fashioned karbolit and collapsible.

So, to understand karbolitovy cartridge aforesaid consists of three parts: the two halves are connected karbolit carvings and ceramic washer with brass contacts and terminals for connection of wires.

In the bottom half karbolit inserted metal sleeve with a thread (in thereof, and it will be stuck our basement). Then just take this part of the hands and using pliers to unscrew jammed item.

the fourth method - the use of raw potato

If, after the rupture of the bulb on the base remains a certain amount of good to keep the glass, it can be take a large potato, cut it in two, and one half of the spread on the glass residues and carefully unscrew.

fifth method - used plug

If you have lying around the house cork, then using it as it is possible to remove the cap lamp. For this bit to grind the edge of cork, gently insert it into the base so that it is the most densely sat in the seat, and then carefully unscrew.

That is such a simple way you can get rid of the remnants of the bulb jammed in the cartridge lamp or chandelier. Thanks for attention.
