Removing Blown Tungsten Bulb Thread Safely: Potential Fire Hazards and Precautions

Hello, a dozen or so minutes ago an ordinary tungsten bulb in my room exploded in a chandelier. The thread remained in the chandelier, the glass fell down. Pre-meter fuses went well and household ones too. I had already turned the switch off the chandelier and turned on the fuses again. For this reason, I have questions:
1) How to safely remove this thread? I would like to add that the "phase" part of the thread flew along with the bulb.
2) Will turning on the light with this switch cause a fire? For example, will the phase not be short-circuited with zero?
3) Is it not better for (fire) safety to turn off the entire lighting fuse before going to bed?


I would like to add that I called 991 and they told me that they only take care of the network ;)

Regards and thank you

Turn off the fuses, just in case (it is not known if the chandelier is not controlled by "zero"), then use pliers to remove the rest of the bulb.
That's all the work.

You made yourself a real ball Fortunately, you did not call the Bełchatów power plant
Turn off the security, if you have it, take the pliers. For your safety, put on gloves and glasses and carefully wring out any residue. If you are afraid, invite an electrician to clean up tomorrow.

Got it, thank you for the answers Probably not much would be missing, and if I called, the glass hardly fell in my eyes Is there a risk of a short circuit on the thread remnants in the chandelier?

Yes there is.

Theoretically, no, but practically in front of the monitor, I can not give you such an assurance. I saw various "miracles" in homes.

So, to be sure, it is better to turn off the electricity at night?

Don't you have "insulated pliers or tongs" at home? What are you for a peasant?

Turn off the electricity while you rummage around the chandelier.
If you still haven't removed the bulb residue (it takes several seconds), you'd better go to sleep now and call an electrician in the morning.

Yes - you will have a guarantee that nothing will happen to you, for example, if the switch is on the neutral and not the phase wire.

But of course I have ticks, I would only have to go to the garage, and I'm quite tired at the moment, and I prefer to do it when it's light. The only thing I am afraid of is that there may be some fire at night due to a short circuit on the remaining thread. I know that during the operation of pulling the fuses off, it only bothers me whether to turn them off at night.

If you turn off the light in the room (i.e. the switch through which you have the chandelier plugged in), nothing will happen overnight.

Ok, I will. The only thing I don't know is the switch is currently off or on and that's the problem But well, life is brutal, you have to take the risk

At home "being tired" I would have left it until tomorrow. But what you do is your business.

That's why I'll keep it until tomorrow. I just had doubts that this thread would not short-circuit and light the installation at night, because I am not sure if the switch is in the off position: p Well, we'll see

In normal For the house / apartment, all switches, except for the stairs one, should be installed according to one system. E.g. down key - on. Up off. Simple, it's a pity that not for everyone and everywhere.

For me - unfortunately it is different: /

"Long pliers" will be the best.
