This situation happens quite often. Shut the breaker off that feeds the fixture. Then shut the switch off that feeds the light fixture. Break the dangling bit off with your glove covered hand. If you have needle nose pliers grasp one edge of the shell of the broken bulb and turn it out. Another successful way to do it is with a small piece of stick. Shove it into the broken socket and twist it out just like you were turning out the light bulb. Install a new bulb, turn the breaker back on. turn the switch on and you should have light.

Can you put an outdoor ceiling fan inside?

Does a ceiling fan take the moisture out of a room in the winter?

No, the ceiling fan will not get the air temperature cold enough to condense the moisture in the air from a gas to a liquid. The only thing that takes the moisture out of air in the room is a dehumidifier. The second choice is an exhaust fan vented to the out side of the building. With an exhaust fan the air has to be replaced by new air. If the humidity of the outside air is the same or higher that the air inside then the exhaust fan will not do the job.


My ceiling fan doesn't have a summer and winter switch - how can I change it from summer to winter?

Your fan must be an industrial model. Commercial fans usually have reversing switches mounted beside the speed controller for the fan. The reasoning behind this is that the fans are usually in warehouses that have high ceiling that are hard to get to switch from summer to winter. To switch from summer to winter in your type of fan, the wiring has to be changed inside the motor box. Fans for use in homes will all have the reverse switch.
