Climbing a ladder to change a light bulb just does not seem like a great idea as you get older. After search on line I selected a changer with an 11 ft pole from True Value Hardware because they were local and the price match others on the internet.
The changer comes as a kit with:
Pole with 3 sections (52" to 11 feet) with a threaded end that accepts all painting and washing threads.
Recessed bulb changer
flood light changer & standard bulb changer
The changer works with incandescent or most compact fluorescent bulbs.
Usually can get bulb out of socket but installation sometimes still requires a ladder
Compact fluorescent bulbs usually break when taking out.
Work slow the pole may take several tries to remove and install a bulb.
