Our front porch light is a hanging light and I cannot find a telescoping pole that will grasp the bulb. When I push up, the fixture moves up. How can I change a bulb on a hanging lamp?

Ladder works for me.

There aren't any ways around this, you need to climb up there. How did you put the bulb in the last time?

OK thank you. I can see there is no need gadget that can do that for me. So, I'll find someone to come over and help (with a ladder) LOL

A lot depends on how high the ceiling is and what is below it. We get a lot of calls to access 18' to 22' ceilings and have found one of the best ways is to use a Little Giant Skyscraper ladder.

Ours will range from about 12' tall to 21' tall allowing for about a 24' reach.

These ladders are big, heavy, and expensive about 800.00 – 900.00 and generally takes two men to move them around and set them up. Consequently the service calls are a set at a 350.00 minimum but lower than the cost of setting up scaffolding or an aerial lift.

I have a large glass off-white dome covered hanging light fixture that attaches to a brass finial and then hangs down from another cover piece that attaches to the top of the ceiling of porch. I thought the glass would eventually unscrew from the finial,
Or relase with pressure grips but it just keeps spinning. There are 4 tiny screw nuts on the top cover plate, but it doesn't make sense to have the release up there for the bulb. Help?
