Light Bulb Changer PoleThe other day I asked Do Light Bulb Changers Work?

Well, they do. I went to Home Depot Sunday and picked up the Bayco Light Bulb Changer Kit, which was on sale for $19.

I attached the piece you see on the left of the image to the pole. I inserted an energy efficient light bulb in the gripper and lifted it to the base. I then pushed it in, screwed the bulb and noticed it turned on. I did not want to get electrocuted, so I tried to reach the switch to turn it off while holding the pole.

It did not work, so I tried letting the pole hang from the bulb while I run to the switch and turn it off. I tried that and the pole fell, but I caught the pole before it hit the floor. I then switched off the light, which I thought was off originally, and tighten the bulb.

It worked well.

What was the difference? It came with a smaller gripper that held the bulb in place. I did not have to use the suction piece, which simply did not work.

We now have light!
