Good stuff Rick!
Not exactly a light bulb (lightbulb, lamp luminaire, whatever) but this is what it made me think of.

You know, I remember the last time I had to change a light bulb. I find that if you grab the bulb and walk around in a circle as apposed to turning you wrist, it's much better for your back. Not saying it'll work for everyone, but it's the only right way.
