Recently bought a resale home with two-story foyer with hanging light fixture. One of six bulbs already was burned out when we moved in. The fixture is glass exterior which necks down to a smaller access on the bottom - you need reach up and in from the bottom to get to the bulbs.
Measurements suggest if I were to use an A-frame ladder to access to clean the glass fixture of dust, and to change bulbs, I would need a 16-ft ladder. These weigh well over one hundred pounds and cost close to $500 including delivery.
An extension ladder won't work because the foyer is large and the fixture is in the center of the foyer, so no adjacent walls are close enough to access from an extension ladder.
Isn't there a better, straightforward solution to maintaining a foyer light fixture?
