So I changed a lightbulb

Sign in to disble this ad
It was rather high up, so it required an interesting combination of a ladder and an extendable light bulb replacer pole to be able to reach it. It took some problem solving in the way of deciding which size and type of tool should be used to work with said lightbulb, and in the end I ended up using the suction cup one, which worked out great.

Only vintage Edison bulbs work right for that kind of music.

I'd argue that Shergolds get the job done better...

And at least 60 watts just to be heard, better 100 watts to get some thump to it.

Did you just stand there holding the light bulb while the world revolved around you?

I'm currently using a 60w Philips, I'd like to upgrade to an Edison 100w flood light, but I'm kinda short on cash right now.
