Bayco Light Bulb Changer - LBC-400 - Recessed & Track Lighting - Bright White - 1 Count - 0.01W Incandescent

Amazing ! It’s very little but it works great, it’s cheap but works better than expensive one. I have changed the led bulb of my chandelier from 20” high ceiling .

The bulb changer is very good for residential use. Would not recommend for commercial use.Cut one side of the package to open and save for later. See photo #4.TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCE OF DROPPING THE USED BULB1. Wipe the bulb with a clean cloth to remove dust and dirt first. As a test I placed the suction cup on the used bulb and did not get very good suction. After cleaning the bulb the grip was perfect. Attach a cloth to your extension pole using velcro, masking tape, or whatever. Make sure the suction cup is clean as well. See photo #1.2. Screw on the bulb changer to your extension pole and DO hand tighten the thumb screw until the bulb changer cannot be turned in either direction without excessive force. This will prevent the handle from coming unscrewed while working with the used or new bulb. See Photo #2. See photo #3 of a secured bulb.3. DO NOT ALLOW THE STRING TO WRAP AROUND THE POLE. If this happens the string may get pulled, release the suction and the bulb will drop.STORING THE BULB CHANGERIf you are like most people the bulb changer will not be used often. Here are a couple of tips to make the bulb changer last as long as the suction cups shelf life, whatever that is.Cut the string from the cup and find an object to wrap the string around. When you need it again you will not have deal with knots and tangles. Cutting an inch off the string will not matter in the long run. I used a small scrap piece of wood. See photo #3B and 5Cut one side of the package are place the bulb changer back in when done and tape closed. The will minimize the chances of damaging the cup if storing in the back of a drawer, junk box or other forgotten place until it is needed. If you get a good crease in the cup it is trash. See photo #4.

Replacement took about 3 minutes, so easy to use. The original changer lasted 12 years before the suction cup got brittle, so I am expecting another 12 years of continual use. What a money saver!

I have a BR40 light bulb 20' high right in the middle of a flight of stairs, and it is impossible to setup a ladder on the stairs. I searched around and found this is the cheapest and safest way to change the light bulb. I chose this greater suction and release with a string over those that has less suction with no string release and requires some balancing, because I don't want to deal with the chance of a falling light bulb from 20'.The changer fits standard poles, and I happen to have one so it saved me from buying a pole. The changer got loose on my first attempt to unscrew the light bulb. I quickly screwed back the half way out light bulb and then released the changer. I tightened the knob more on the stick, and the 2nd time, I got the bulb out with no problem. It was easy to put in the new bulb and release the changer by pulling the string.Just make sure tighten the knob well before use, as unscrewing a light bulb also go in the direction of loosing the changer from the stick. It is likely I won't be needing to use the changer again given the long life of a LED bulb, so under $10 for a one time use is acceptable given the difficult task I have.

Added a piece of wooden broomstick, drilled in a hole so retainer screw could not come out.Per other reviews made sure bulbs not dusty, wetted sucker, and it works great.
