Lights.com—Light Bulb Changer
Of all the janitorial supplies out there, a light bulb changer is probably one of the most specialized and consequently most useful. If you have to reach an incredibly high light bulb, there simply isn't a better way to do it than to use a good, sturdy light bulb changer. There are a few variations among light bulb changers, so let's take a closer look.
The basic design of a light bulb changer is a light bulb grasping device connected to an adjustable pole. The grasping device holds onto the light bulb, while you turn it to loosen or tighten the bulb. This allows you to change light bulbs that are in very hard to reach locations without ever getting on a ladder.
The biggest variation in light bulb changers occurs in the type and style of the light bulb grasping device. Since light bulbs can vary widely in size and shape, so too must a light bulb grasping mechanism vary in size and shape. Depending on which type of light bulb you are going to be dealing with most frequently, you may or may not want to have a few different attachments for your light bulb changer.
