My back is a mess so I will not do it. I assume they are the typical sunken bulbs. You can purchase a bulb changing device. A sort of extendable broom handle with a device that grabs the bulb and allows you to remove it while standing on the ground. Like everything else buy a good one not a cheap one. Bulbs have a service life-estimated number of hours. If, one has blown I would replace all that light together. The others will blow soon.

If, the bulb is at an angle or the small candelabra base bulbs you will need to get a ladder.
Ten foot ceilings and you will need an eight foot ladder. Have someone with you to hold the ladder. The eight foot ladder. You will need it again for stuff like changing smoke detector batteries.
