How to Change a Light Bulb in a Vaulted Ceiling
- 1). Extend the bulb changer's telescoping pole to the length that you need to reach the bulb. Many changers have a twist-lock feature, allowing you to set the length without danger of the pole collapsing.
- 2). Press the tool on the top of the changer against the light bulb. The two standard tools are suction cups or curved wire "fingers" that grab the bulb.
- 3). Turn the pole counterclockwise until the existing bulb comes free from the socket.
- 4). Remove the old bulb from the changer and put a new one on the end of it. Raise the pole up to the fixture and turn it clockwise to secure the new bulb into the socket.
- 5). Pull the bulb changer free from the bulb. Some changers simply pull loose while others have release strings or levers that disengage the tool from the bulb.
