How do i change a lightbulb i cant reach?

You can get one at Home Depot for about $25.

have someone stand on your shoulders

Use something to grip around the light bulb like tongs, or that. The light bulb stick is good too, if you know where to find it (Hint: Home Depot)

Ace Hardware has it for $23.99 http://www.acehardware.com/sm-bayco-light-bulb-changer-kit-bayco-light-bulb-changer-kit--pi-1291468.html

masking tape ,long stick ,funnel......mount the funnel big side up on top of the stick by wrapping masking tape around the small funnel end and also around the stick. it will look similar to this .....Y........ line the inside of the funnel with tape leaving some of the sticky part tape to stick to the bulb.raise this contraption up to the bulb and apply pressure and then twist counter clockwise ,if you can't get enough grip you will need to expose more sticky to the bulb.

Most hardware and building supply stores sell a telescoping pole that uses different attachments for the various kinds of light bulbs. My local hardware store sells different length poles, including telescoping poles, for between $15 to $40, and the attachments run another about another $15. Here is a link to an online provider of a similar kit (there are many such) - http://www.alwaysbrilliant.com/aa/aspx-products/1-296/2-39029/bb/lightbulb%20changer,Telescoping%20Light%20Bulb%20Changer,Light%20Bulb%20Changers,change%20light%20bulbs,Telescoping%20Bulb%20Changer,change%20ceiling%20bulb,bulb%20changer,ligh.htm By the way - many of these attachments or kits, use the same 'thread' fitting that is found on paint pole 'handles', some long handle dusters, or push brooms. So, if you already have a push broom, or long paint handle pole, you may be able to purchase just the attachment. Good Luck

it's called using a chair

There *is* an 'extension, grab-stick' on the market that one can use to pick up objects off the floor for people who cannot bend over or squat down OR! for reaching up overhead to grasp objects off of a top shelf, etc. In *your* case of wanting to replace a light bulb that is above you somewhere, I would say that it depends on several special conditions whether or not such a 'pick-up extension grab stick' will work for you. If the light bulb is in an overhead fixture that has a covering of some sort under it -- NO, the 'reach-and-grab' stick will not work. Or, if the light bulb is in an elevated wall fixture that has the bulb positioned so that the 'grab-able' part of the bulb is pointed upward -- NO-can-do again. You *may* be forced to find some good friend who CAN bring a step ladder of sufficient height and be willing to *climb that ladder* and *change out your light bulb for you*! Good luck!

get a ladder or pray you dont break that bulb or your gonna b fu--ed
