Bayco LBC-600C Deluxe Light Bulb Changer Kit

Product Information

More than 150 years ago, inventors began working on a bright idea that would have a dramatic impact on how we use energy in our homes and offices. This invention changed the way we design buildings, increased the length of the average workday and jumpstarted new businesses. It also led to new energy breakthroughs -- from power plants and electric transmission lines to home appliances and electric motors. Throughout this blog, we will be walking you through some of the best methods you can use to change your GU10 light bulb and give you a helpful guide on some of the most useful ways to do an often difficult task. It’s really important not to change broken bulbs with your hands since the glass can be dangerous. Instead, you should use a lightbulb changer since it can reduce the risk of injury. Make sure the pole and changer are made of non-conductive materials like plastic. Like all great inventions, the light bulb can’t be credited to one inventor. It was a series of small improvements on the ideas of previous inventors that have led to the light bulbs we use in our homes today. Incandescent Bulbs Light the Way Although its limited versatility kept the HighLight relegated to a low spot on our list, we were still sorry to see it go, as it was the only option we ranked that was specifically designed for use with candelabra bulbs, which made it a potential asset for users servicing high chandeliers.

Once removed, be sure to throw away your old bulb to ensure that you do not get this confused with your new bulb to ensure that you do not waste money, time or effort. The DocaPole Light Bulb Changer is an innovative and convenient tool for changing light bulbs in hard-to-reach places. With its telescopic extension pole, reaching up to 24-foot-high ceilings and recessed lights is a breeze. Its premium silicone suction cup has been optimally designed for flat, smooth light bulbs like those used in recessed lighting and canned lighting. The changer also features a secure design with a thumb screw and push pin that tightly secures the suction cup to prevent spinning, meaning users can manipulate the suction cup with confidence.For the next 30 years, Edison worked out of an industrial-sized research lab (i.e., Menlo Park), which he had created in Raritan, New Jersey. When Edison passed away in 1931 at the age of 84, he had accumulated 1,093 patents. The man's legacy includes the invention of the phonograph, the telegraph, the motion picture camera, and, of course, the incandescent carbon-filament light bulb. Some of these bulbs are solar-powered making their energy consumption even better and lasting many years longer than their halogen and incandescent counterparts. If your house happens to have rather high ceilings, changing the lights can be quite difficult without the use of anything to lift yourself closer to the ceiling. This is the type of category that typically doesn’t change much from year to year, and will likely remain this way until such a time that common lightbulb designs start rapidly evolving. As such, we made minimal changes during this round of updates, although we did remove the Faraday Partners HighLight, due to availability issues.

Changing a light bulb is a delicate process, one that can be complicated by a variety of issues. A lot of light bulbs are hot, for example, and they can singe your hands just as easily as they can set a towel on fire. Owning a bulb changer eliminates those risks by placing you at a remove from the light bulb, and by enlisting a flame-retardant clamp that can't be set ablaze.Whenever you're housecleaning, you can wrap a damp cloth around the cylindrical front end of a bulb changer, secure that cloth with a rubber band, and then use the bulb changer to remove dust or cobwebs from remote spaces or high ceilings. The key to using a bulb changer for any of these circumstances is to clean and dry the bulb changer thoroughly before putting it away. Replacing light bulbs is a delicate business. You want your changer and its extensions to remain dry and clean and safe. A Brief Biography of Thomas Edison (By Way of His Bulbs) Historical footnote: One can’t talk about the history of the light bulb without mentioning William Sawyer and Albon Man, who received a U.S. patent for the incandescent lamp, and Joseph Swan, who patented his light bulb in England. There was debate on whether Edison’s light bulb patents infringed on these other inventors’ patents. Eventually Edison’s U.S. lighting company merged with the Thomson-Houston Electric Company -- the company making incandescent bulbs under the Sawyer-Man patent -- to form General Electric, and Edison’s English lighting company merged with Joseph Swan’s company to form Ediswan in England.)

Once your bulb has been attached, all you have to do is guide the pole to the light bulb holder and gently turn it around until it’s been fixed. Make sure to give it a wiggle to ensure whether it’s tightly attached. When you’re done attaching the light bulb, gently pull onto the release string to release the suction. Fixing a Broken Bulb and How to Do ItThese incidents are all preventable with Unger’s variety of high access tools that keep your custodian’s feet planted firmly on the ground and protected from falls, hot elements and broken bulb pieces.
