Q: changing pod lights with 20ft high ceilings

[1boy]

Can anyone recommend a good 'tool' to use to change burnt out pot lights on 20ft high ceilings?
I've tried buying something from canadian tire before, but it didn't seem to work.

Maybe I brought the wrong brand... anyone have good recommendations? I don't even know what those things are called... haha

oh whoops, btw, i'm just too lazy to do the whole ladder thing. (yes I'm THAT lazy, you have no idea).

thanks!

I assume you mean "pot" lights. Home Depot & Rona both sell a special tool used specifically for changing lamps that are too high up to reach. There are several different variations but one of them is basically a suction cup at the end of a telescopic pole. Go to the electrical department. Hope this helps.

They've had these things for awhile now that can do it. In fact, I think the Egyptians even used them.

Now what are they again...

Oh right, a fucking ladder.

My thoughts exactly.

Buy extension pole, buy the suction cup thing from Home Depot (you can find the pole and the suction cup thing in the paint department), change bulb, enjoy.
