I got a thing that is supposed to go around the bulb and grip and help you remove them. Couldn't get it into the thing at all. But it also had a suction cup and that worked like a charm. I did get some day light bulbs but they are frosted and give off a blue light. Not happy.

Take the bulb back....I had to do that one time, can't remember which vendor it was. I love GE REveal bulbs (the incandescent ones), but bought a daylight bulb by someone else and it was way too blue. Couldn't even tolerate it in the basement where i just have light to make sure i don't fall on my face.

it can be trial and error.

We are the ones making the money. These new bulbs use way less electricity than the old ones. Commercial installments have found their electric costs go down by thousands of dollars. Ours went down $14.00 when we got a new refrigerator. All this puts less carbon into the atmosphere, and that's good.

Will have DH read this post! He was not convinced the LED lights would be worth the cost.

My new quilting studio is all LED lights and it is wonderful. I can see no matter where I sit in the room. Of course it looks like and operating room when you turn on the lights. LOL
