sharismom:Do these instructions only apply to bulbs in lamps? What about overhead lighting?
It will work for either
sharismom: What about those fluorescent tubular lights?
this post is about lightbulbs, the round ones with a screw end, fluorescent questions should be placed in another thread.
sharismom: How will I know if the light bulb is cool before I touch it? Will it tell me? Does it come with a thermometer?
Have you considered just using a flashlight? Perhaps you should educate yourself more on lightbulbs and perhaps take a class before using them, in the meantime a flashlight will work well for your needs.
sharismom: Wouldn't it be safer to completely unplug the lamp or fixture before attempting to do this in case I accidentally miss the socket and catch my finger in it?
Yes you need a class, the local LightbulbsMart may offer some
