Sorry to be the one to tell ya but she's a tear down son, load bearing bulb too by the looks of it. I could get a jack down there and lift your house, try and swap it for one of those high strength halogen majiggers but I doubt it would last. Yep best to move on and get a new wife.

...it tells you what it is

a 22W circular fluorescent tube model YH22-7S

disconnect the connector and unscrew one of the clips. it will come right out.

3. Tell nearest associate you need one of "these".

Or an engineer like the post states. All brain, no practical experience.

Real mechanical engineer here, don't listen to the other trolls, this is a real issue that is known to the profession, you will need to disable the light switch at the valve outside the house or the central control from the building, and then change the wires on the sockets, i.e. unplug the blue and the green and replace them with red and yellow. Because the blue and green wires are outdated, you need to upgrade the wire color. Once you have done that, the bulb should at least come on for a few months if not more.

TLDR: change the wires.

Troll spotted, blue wires still meet all the code requirements you shill, not everyone has the money to upgrade every few years to apples new beige-beigewhite wires.
Plus i think steve jobs lied about wire goblins, #TEACHTHECONTROVERSY
