Does a burnt out light bulb still use electricity?
When the bulb is blown, the filament is broken – you’ll often be able to see that it looks snapped if you look closely at the bulb itself. When this happens, the circuit is broken. And so, no power will flow through the circuit, so even if you leave the light switch on, you won’t be using electricity.
What happens if you unscrew a lightbulb while it’s on?
There’s no electrical danger to leaving a bulb partially unscrewed in a socket, but if it’s too loose, it could fall and shatter, which could be a hazard. A partially unscrewed bulb is generally safer than an empty socket which could ignite a spark if contacted by dust or lint.
