"These are the steps to safely change a lightbulb in your home. First, turn off the power to the light bulb. Then, allow the light bulb to cool for a few minutes. After that, remove the old bulb. Now, insert the replacement bulb. When the bulb is securely in the lamp or socket, switch on the power. Finally, please dispose of your old bulb following recycling rules."
