What happens if you fit a lightbulb incorrectly?

This may sound so stupid, i'm 16 years old and i can't change a lightbulb aha



I have a Bayonet fitting, so I can't tell if it's properly connected, I turned it on and it seems to be working, but i'm scared it's stuck or something.



what would be the worst that can happen if a lightbulb wasnt fitted correctly,

a fire???

no fire, it would cross thread and probably not work 100% of the time, it would be hard to get out is all.

The worst thing that it could happen would be the light bulb would burn out.
If it's working it's probably in correctly. With a bayonet fitting the worst that can happen is that the lightbulb falls out (assuming it's pointing downwards). You should be able to see the pins in the slots to make sure that it's fitted correctly.
If it is lighting up then it is probably fitted ok.You push and twist but the bulb must be the right way around for the lugs to engage.If it is the wrong way around it won't go in unless forced and jammed and won't work then
Never get shy to clarify ur doubts

.

A tubelight has four leads, only when the four leads are in contact the tube will glow

.

You have to rotate the tube to 45 degeree, by rotating 45 degeree the key way gets stright and the tube holder gets open by which you can take the tube out,but be carefull the tubs leads will break, for closing the holder put the tube back and rotate 45 derege again



thankyou
