Broken light bulb extractor, light bulb changer and anti-loosening pole adapter

Abstract

A light bulb remover extracts a broken light bulb from a socket of a high-hat light fixture. The light bulb remover has an extension pole and an extractor head attached to the extension pole. An anti-loosening adapter may be provided to securely connect the extractor head to the extension pole, such that rotation of the pole while extracting the bulb will prevent the extractor head from loosening from the extension pole. Such an adapter is configured to adapt between a right-handed thread on one of the extension pole and extractor head, and a left-handed thread on the other of the extension pole and extractor head. The extractor head has a guide which defines an outer circumference of the extractor head and a bulb extractor configured for engaging in a base of the broken light bulb and creating a friction connection with the base of the light bulb.
