I do not have any fancy ladders that could stand on stairs so looking for ideas how would anyone possibly change the bulb in this light lol? http://tinypic.com/r/295egzb/6
How many people does it take to change a lightbulb in Poland?
Three. One to hold the lightbulb and two to spin the ladder around.
(I'm so sorry, Mananetwork)

If the fixture has a "jam jar" you will need to remove the three screws/pins that are holding it in before changing the bulb.
How high up is the fixture?
Is this over a stairway?
There really isn't any other way to change it unless you have a ladder or some other less safe means of reaching it.
If it's over stairs then you may need to get creative or lean a ladder against a wall or have a little giant ladder. If it's on the landing, then you would need just a normal ladder.

Whichever method you use, make sure you replace the bulb with one that will last a long ass time. Perhaps an LED light bulb.
Back to the problem. Build a platform that would allow an ordinary ladder to sit upright properly. There are attachments you can put on ladders for this purpose. Also, which way do your steps face?
I like the human tower idea.......... cheerleading team of chicks in their skimpy outfits?
