    Suction-Cup

    Grip

    Swap out hard-to-reach light bulbs without a ladder. For a long reach, attach these to most standard extension poles, such as those used for painting, or to our extension handle (sold separately), which adjusts up to 18 ft.
    Spring-Loaded Grip—Flexible fingers slide over and firmly grip exposed light bulbs. These spring-loaded changers need 1/4" clearance around the bulb, so they won’t work with recessed fixtures where the bulb sits flush or below the trim.
    Suction-Cup Grip—Suction cups attach to the face of the bulb to create a secure vacuum seal. These changers are often used to swap bulbs in recessed lights where there's no room to reach around the bulbs. They include three cup sizes to handle a wide range of bulb shapes, including spotlights and floodlights frequently used in recessed can lights.
