The Cherry Picker Motorized Bulb Changer. I cannot, simply cannot believe that it has taken humanity *this long* to come up with something so screamingly obvious and so mind-bogglingly useful. 2006 for goodness sake. Sheesh! $89.95.
Soaring ceilings are great, but changing bulbs on those high fixtures can be a safety issue. Instead of chancing a chair, or risking a stepladder, keep your feet firmly planted on the ground! Our cordless remote Cherry Picker uses a motorized head mounted to a telescoping pole to give you cathedral reach. Articulating, motorized head adjusts to fit fixtures at any angle.
I saw one of these being used in Grand Central Station, NY, about 3 years ago – just much, much longer. Like 25′ or so. Don’t know if it was motorised though.
They have been available for quite a while without the motor. They are pretty smart anyway.
