We have this at work

Light Bulb Changer from Bayco | The Home Depot - Model CE-600SDLB12 (http://www.homedepot.com/buy/electrical/light-bulbs/bayco/11-ft-pole-light-bulb-changer-kit-with-attachments-67050.html)

maybe with a standard ladder you could change it. i used the exact same pole and it worked alright. worth a try :)

Available at home depot. Replace with an LED so you don't need to do it again.

problem is theres a dome around it, with screws holding that dome on... cant access the bulb unless that dome comes off too :alone:

[Prolowtone]

Human tower ? :fuckyea:

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.

Then ladder. How many feet up is it?

[ilovebacon]

Use a ladder, something so simple can easily fix your problem. Before you get hurt and cause a bigger problem.

Anyway get the arm lol

[Presto]

Go in from the roof. Drop in from the skylight (remove glass first), and change the bulb like Spiderman.

[Matlock]

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.

[drunkrussian]

build an arm using a mop and other crap around the house

or buy a ladder, change it then return the ladder to the store for a full refund

its about 10ft above the stairs escalating down.... and i'm scared shitless of heights lol so the idea of a ladder + stairs doesnt make me very happy :okay:

[MG1]

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?

Little giant ladders are great for stairs, because you can make one side longer than the other. I don't know where you could rent one though.

I used to be afraid of heights and it does take a while to get your confidence up. The other option you have is to get someone else to do it for you.

[MG1]

^ I have one of those, but it ain't long enough for what he needs. OP can PM me, if he wants to borrow it.

[sebTeggy]

CHange the title to 'can I borrow a ladder'

Host a Bollywood party.....that will get that light changed for ya ;)

[Senna4ever]

Maybe Home Depot or A&B Tool Rentals (A & B Tool Rentals - Equipment and Tool Rental in Vancouver BC and Surrey BC (http://www.abtoolrentals.com/)) rents that type of ladder?

[Volvo-brickster]

Forget the light bulb

fix the flashing / seal for your skylight

some nice water staining you got going on

[DsZ24]

Hire an electrcian to come in and put in a wall light for you, won't have to deal with that light up there anymore :p

But on a serious note you'll have to go with either a jaws ladder on the stairs or building up a platform that you can put a regular ladder on.

[TheNewGirl]

I have one of those. Thankfully I also have a landlord.

[static]

If you don't want to buy a ladder which is the right thing to do, go to Costco, and purchase 40 bags of white rice and build a pseudo-stair case.

[MG1]

Actually, looking at the picture again, it doesn't look difficult at all. A normal straight ladder should do.

first thing I thought of...I'm going to hell.:okay:

[InvisibleSoul]

I'm not sure the recommendation of a LED bulb is a good one. The technology is still not very mature yet, and although they claim to have a very long lifespan, there are many that fail well before expected. I've also heard of some LED bulbs that start to get dimmer and dimmer the more it is used.

[Gridlock]

Well, I have a 24' ladder that you can borrow...it folds so it can go in a car. I've gotten into some pretty crazy places with it, so it might work.

that will also open a lotta doors for ya ;)
