You will not electrocute yourself changing a lightbulb. Turn the light off first. Make sure that your hands are dry, your clothes are not wet, and you're not standing in a puddle. While you are changing the bulb, check the lamp shade for dust, and clean if necessary. (if it is a wall or ceiling light, there will probably be small bugs, like gnats, etc. dead in the shade. Wash with dish soap and water, dry thoroughly, then replace.) TA-DA! Lots of light! :-)How do i change a blown light bulb without electrcuting myself?Make sure that the switch to that particular outlet is turned off, and them simply unscrew the light bulb.

None of these are menHow do i change a blown light bulb without electrcuting myself?Don檛 do anything with electricity near water.

Turn off the light switch to that light fitting. If it is a lamp then unplug it at the wall.

Wait until the bulb is cool or you could use a cloth/towel to protect you from the heat of the bulb.

Unscrew the defective bulb by turning it counter clockwise.

Dust the light fitting and clean the shade.

Make sure the new bulb has the correct fitting (eg: screw in type) and watts (eg: 60 W) and size (eg: a small candle-style bulb, a normal round-style, etc). Don檛 use a bulb with too high Watts; you could cause a fire.

Insert the new bulb into the fitting and turn it gently clockwise; do not over-tighten.

Turn the switch on and congratulate yourself.

Dispose of the old bulb carefully so that if the bulb breaks no-one gets cut (including the garbage-collection person). I put the old bulb into the box from the new bulb or wrap the old bulb in junk paper before I put it in the trash.

There are lots of types of bulbs you can buy: energy-saving (and therefore saving you money), different colors, etc.
