How can I safely remove a light bulb base that is stuck in a socket?

To safely remove a stuck light bulb base from a socket, first turn off the power to the light fixture. Then, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to gently grip the base of the bulb and twist it counterclockwise to loosen it from the socket. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid breaking the bulb or damaging the socket. If the base is still stuck, you may need to use a bulb extractor tool or seek assistance from a professional electrician.
