The best light bulb changer kit is the one that is the easiest to use and fits the widest range of light bulbs. What are the benefits of using a light bulb changer kit? Historical footnote: One can’t talk about the history of the light bulb without mentioning William Sawyer and Albon Man, who received a U.S. patent for the incandescent lamp, and Joseph Swan, who patented his light bulb in England. There was debate on whether Edison’s light bulb patents infringed on these other inventors’ patents. Eventually Edison’s U.S. lighting company merged with the Thomson-Houston Electric Company -- the company making incandescent bulbs under the Sawyer-Man patent -- to form General Electric, and Edison’s English lighting company merged with Joseph Swan’s company to form Ediswan in England.) If you’re using a suction cup-style bulb changer, make sure to attach the release string so it’s easy to remove. Most poles also have a telescoping option to make them longer. Change the bulb

By the late 1920s and early 1930s, European researchers were doing experiments with neon tubes coated with phosphors (a material that absorbs ultraviolet light and converts the invisible light into useful white light). These findings sparked fluorescent lamp research programs in the U.S., and by the mid and late 1930s, American lighting companies were demonstrating fluorescent lights to the U.S. Navy and at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. These lights lasted longer and were about three times more efficient than incandescent bulbs. The need for energy-efficient lighting American war plants led to the rapid adoption of fluorescents, and by 1951, more light in the U.S. was being produced by linear fluorescent lamps. Create a loop of duct tape if you can’t grab the bulb. If you cannot physically reach inside of the fixture to remove the bulb by hand, grab some duct tape. Peel off a 6–12 in (15–30 cm) strip of duct tape and create a loop with the adhesive side pointing out away from the center.

You can certainly do that—you typically just need to pry it out from the ceiling with a putty knife or flathead screwdriver. Before switching any bulb, not just LED bulbs, it is imperative that you turn off the light switch beforehand to prevent yourself from getting electrocuted. Screw in the ideal attachment for your bulb. Each of the attachments that come with your light changing pole is designed for a different situation. You likely have 3 different types of attachments.

With its telescopic extension pole, reaching up to 24-foot-high ceilings and recessed lights is a breeze. Its premium silicone suction cup has been optimally designed for flat, smooth light bulbs like those used in recessed lighting and canned lighting. The changer also features a secure design with a thumb screw and push pin that tightly secures the suction cup to prevent spinning, meaning users can manipulate the suction cup with confidence. Let the lights cool and get up on a ladder. If you can see the bulb’s edges, you can replace it by hand like any normal light bulb. Flip the switch to turn the lights off and wait 2-3 minutes for the bulb to cool. While that’s happening, grab a ladder or a sturdy chair and set it underneath the bulb. [1] X Research source

It was a series of small improvements on the ideas of previous inventors that have led to the light bulbs we use in our homes today. Changing a light bulb can be quite dangerous business if not done properly and without the correct measures being taken.Apply slightly increasing pressure until the fixture pops out. With the putty knife or screwdriver on the clip, slowly and gently begin to pry the collar out. Don’t worry—you won’t break anything! Keep pulling down until either the collar pops off to reveal the bulb, or the housing pops out of the ceiling to give you access. [15] X Research source If your house happens to have rather high ceilings, changing the lights can be quite difficult without the use of anything to lift yourself closer to the ceiling. Turn off the fixture and allow the bulb to cool. Before changing any light bulb, always make sure you’ve turned off the light switch. Standard incandescent and halogen bulbs get too hot to touch, so let them cool before trying to replace them. It might take at least 15 to 20 minutes for a bulb to cool to room temperature.
