If you are referring to the removal of lamps from the lamp-holder then yes a very light coating of a high temperature grease will help. This problem arose when the lamps came with aluminum screw bases and the lamp-holder manufactures decided to use aluminum on their screw shells instead of the old brass ones. Aluminium screwing into aluminum creates a condition called spalling and the two surfaces tend to weld together. By applying a very light coating of lithium grease to the lamp when installing the bulb will help when removing the bulb when its life is finished.

What part of a circuit is the light bulb?
It has components that are arranged end to end in order to produce light.
How do you build a conductivity tester?
Take two pieces of wire, one battery and one light bulb. Battery and light bulb should be the same voltage. Attach one end of one piece of wire to one pole of the battery (Soldering it would be best). Attach one end of the other piece of wire to the other pole of the battery and the other end of the wire to side conductor of the light bulb. You are done. To test the conductivity of something you simply touch the center conductor of the light bulb to one end of what you're testing and the other end of the first piece of wire to the other end of what you're testing. If what you're testing conducts electricity the current will run from the battery through what you're testing into the light bulb, out the other side of the light bulb and back to the battery and the light bulb will light up. If what you're testing doesn't conduct electricity, the electricity from the battery will not be able to pass through it to the light bulb and it won't light up. Good luck!
What type of a circuit do flashlights use?
A flashlight is a series circuit. The batteries positive end connects to the flashlights switch. The switch connects to the center pin of the light bulb. The bulb filament is connected to the center pin of the bulb and the outer metal shell of the bulb socket. The shell of the bulb socket is connected to the metal flashlight's body which returns to the negative end of the battery. Turn on the switch and you have light.
Would you show me a diagram of a series circuit?
Diagrams are not supported with WikiAnswers, sorry, so you will have to use your imagination...A simple series circuit can be built with a battery, a switch, and a light bulb. One end of the battery is connected to one end of the switch. The other end of the switch is connected to one end of the bulb. The other end of the bulb is connected to the other end of the battery.If the switch is open, no current flows, and the bulb does not illuminate. If the switch is closed, current flows, and the bulb illuminates. By Ohm's law, the current through the bulb is proportional to the battery voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the bulb. Note, of course, that we are talking about hot resistance of the bulb, because cold resistance is an entirely different thing, due to the temperature coefficient of the bulb. Also, by Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in this simple series circuit is the same and, by Kirchoff's voltage law, the voltage across the battery is the same as the voltage across the bulb.
Why does Fluorescent bulb not light and end turns black?
In order to know why fluorescent bulbs turn black at the end, you need to understand how they work. Basically, when you turn on the lighht switch, the ballast sends a spark through the mercury-vapor-filled tube or bulb, depending on design. When it does this, it creates light by activating phosphors that coat the inside of the tube. Well each time the ballast fires, it creates emissions. These emissins materials then settle on the surface inside the glass. After awhile this material piles up. When it does this, the tube end turns completely black. Not only does the tube end turn black, but the accumulated materials pile up so high that it blocks the electrons that flow into the mercury. When this happens, you will notice the bulb or tube flicker heavily and then burn out.
How can you learn whether or not a material can conduct electricity?
You need a battery, a light bulb, and three pieces of copper wire, as well as the thing you want to test. Create a circuit by connecting each object to two others with the copper wire. Place one end of a copper wire on the positive side of the battery, the other end on the bottom of the light bulb. With the second wire, connect one end to the side of the metal part of the light bulb (where you see the ridges), and the other end to the object. With the last wire, connect one end to the object and the other end to the negative side of the light bulb. If the light bulb lights up, then the object is conducting electricity. If you have a large light bulb, it won't show as much light, or maybe no light at all, even if you have a conductive material. It is better to use a smaller light bulb for smaller batteries, so you can see the light.

What do you need to have a simple circuit?
Take a battery, a wire and a little light bulb. Put the wire on the flat part of the battery then put the other end of the wire on the side part of the bottom of the light bulb. Put the end of the light bulb on the top of the battery, dont touch the wire to the top when the light bulb is on it because is either shocks you or doesnt work.
What simple machines makes up the base of a light-bulb?
The bottom of a light bulb is a screw.
How do you check for an electrical short to the brake light?
A multimeter is a good tool to check for a short in the brake light. Put one end of the meter on one side of the wire near the brake light. Put the other end on the metal that is around the bottom of the bulb. If the bulb does not light up, there is a short. If the bulb lights up, there is no short in the wire.
What light bulbs are best for the economy?
Home > Money > Business & Economy > FAQ: The End of the Light Bulb as We Know It ... The incandescent light bulb, one of the most venerable inventions of its era but it works.
How does a battery make a light bulb work?
If you place an end of a wire on the negative or positive side, put the outer metal part of the light bulb's cap on the other, and place the other end of the wire on the light bulb's cap's inner metal part, it will turn on.TipBefore you try to do this, always check that the voltage of the battery is equal to, or a bit less than, the voltage of the light bulb!Otherwise the light bulb may only give out a very bright flash and could easily be destroyed.
How do you light a light bulb with a six volt battery?
You'll need two pieces of wire... and im pretty sure that if you take one end of the wire and put it on the very bottom of the light bulb and the other end of the wire and put it on the positive side of the battery, and take the other wire and put it on the threads of the light bulb and the other end of the wire and put that end on the negative side of the battery, you should get light. (I may have the polarities [positive & negative] mixed up).
How do you light a light bulb without a light socket?
Take a lightbulb so the bottom touches on end of a battery. Take a wire and touch the battery and the other end to the lightbulb.
What is different about a grow light bulb?
A plant growth inducing bulb or lamp operates on the red end of the light spectrum where plants favour that wavelength. It is closer to natural daylight than bulbs that operate in the blue end of the spectrum.
How do you replace the light bulb that shines light onto the license plate on the rear bumper of a 1995 Chevy Tahoe?
You have to pop out the harness that holds it on to your bumper. Youll be left with a wire with the light on the end of it. Take it apart, and there is your light bulb.
