Someone to change light bulb in Cathedral Ceiling
 

I am looking for a recommendation for a handiman to change a light bulb for me m in the highest part of a cathedral ceiling. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would suggest that you buy a light bulb changer extension pole from Home Depot, Lowes, or Amazon. Then, if you can't use it yourself, you should be able to ask a neighbor to help. Also, use an LED light bulb as a replacement. I would use a "daylight" bulb for the best, natural type lighting. If it is on a dimmer switch, make sure you get a dimmable bulb.

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.

If you can’t find someone to help you out in the meantime, send me a PM in early January. I would be happy to change it for you. Unfortunately, we aren’t scheduled to be at our Villages home until January 3rd, weather permitting since we will be driving.

When we bought our house 5 years ago, that's the first thing we did on EVERYTHING
that contain a light bulb.
Bought all on Amazon.

Several good suggestions below however when you get the LED bulb look for the 5000 rating which is a brighter white light, and if possible you may want to get one that can be dimmed

Here is a suggestion that may help anyone reading this. When I change a lightbulb anywhere I put a little bulb grease on the threaded base of the bulb. In bathrooms and kitchens where there is humidity the metal will corrode over the years. Sure makes it easy to screw in and out the next time it needs replacement. Available at Ace, Lowe’s, HD

It all started with a lightbulb…..

Try calling your local fire department. I have heard that some of them will do this for seniors or for people with disabilities. I'm not sure if this is done in TV or not.

You did an incredible job on a ceiling for me sometime last year. I will take you up on your kind offer if you will allow me to pay for your service .... you can put it in the Salvation Army collection bucket, but I do need to pay for a service rendered. :)

This was an incredible service, but I believe they have had to cancel this and the smoke alarm battery service they used to do.

Q: Do you know how many psychiatrists are needed to change a light bulb?

A: Just one, but the light bulb has to REALLY want to change.

Be sure to use an LED light bulb as I think these have a long life.

[QUOTE=Madelaine Amee;2036814]I don't know about changing light bulbs, but the fire department does change the smoke alarms and the batteries. They had suspended the service due to COVID, but they are now doing it again. Call Public Safety, 352-205-8280.

Stop it......I just spilled my morning coffee on my keyboard

How many women does it take to change a light bulb?

Women don't change light bulbs. They just accept them the way they are.

Our Border Collie would gladly volunteer to change every light bulb in the entire Villages if she had thumbs.

I would be happy to do it for free.
:):)

Ask a neighbor who has a large ladder.

Thanks to everyone who sent me the Handiman information and the information that the Fire Dept is back doing smoke alarms.

A special thanks to everyone who offered to change the light bulb for free, so very kind of you, but my dignity needs to pay for a service.

There is a real need in TV for a Handiman List. Unfortunately my person has retired.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot. They have a pole with various attachments designed for doing that exact thing - changing otherwise inaccessible light bulbs. Plus its a whole lot cheaper than hiring a handyman for the job. Good luck.
