An autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) includes a plurality of lightbulb changers and an actuator for controlling the plurality of lightbulb changers. A structure database stores structure data corresponding to a structure, the structure data including coordinate data corresponding to three-dimensional coordinates of a location that facilitates an unobstructed view of a plurality of exterior lights of the structure, the structure data further including schematic data that indicates positions on the structure of the plurality of exterior lights. A flight control system controls a position of the AAV, based on the coordinate data, to the location that facilitates the unobstructed view of the plurality of exterior lights of the structure. A camera captures image data corresponding to the unobstructed view of the plurality of exterior lights of the structure. A processor controls the AAV to perform a lighting inspection procedure and/or a lightbulb replacement process.

A light bulb, comprising a light bulb body (1); at least one connector protrusion (12) is provided on the outer circumference of the light bulb body (1), the connector protrusions (12) being arranged at intervals on the light bulb body (1) or distributed in a radial shape with respect to the center of the light bulb body (1); the connector protrusions (12) cooperate with a dedicated assembling and disassembling tool during light bulb replacement, realizing non-contact and remote assembling and disassembling of light bulbs, achieving the characteristics of safe assembly and disassembly, a simple and practical structure and low maintenance cost.

An interchangeable adapter and head piece for changing a light bulb that includes a head piece that has a base plate with a primary gripping member and a secondary gripping member for engaging the light from the platform of the first side of the base plate away from the second side.

A universal gripping unit configured for attachment to poles or handles or varying lengths to accommodate light bulbs at varying heights or elevations. The universal gripping unit includes a platform and collar; an adhesive pad attached to an upper surface of the platform; a non-adhesive cover removably attached to the adhesive pad; and a threaded female protrusion extending from an underside of the platform wherein the threaded female protrusion is configured to receive a threaded male portion of a pole or handle.

An interchangeable adapter for changing a light bulb that includes a head piece that has a base plate with opposite first and second sides and that defines a platform at the first side. A primary gripping member extends from the platform of the first side of the base plate away from the second side. The primary gripping member is positioned substantially centrally with respect to the platform to engage the light bulb. A secondary gripping member extends from the platform of the first side of the base plate away from the second side. The secondary gripping member surrounds the primary gripping member and is configured to grip the light bulb. An engagement member extends from the second side of the base plate away from the first side for engaging a holder of the adapter.

A light bulb holder including a bulb retaining body for holding a light bulb during installation of the bulb in a light fixture. The bulb retaining body generally includes an attachment member for removably or permanently affixing said retaining body to a ladder and at least one retaining slot unit supported on said attachment member including a base and opposed resilient fingers defining an opening for receiving a light bulb.

A device for installing and removing lightbulbs comprises a removable gripping element including fingers configured for gripping a lightbulb, a telescopic cylinder coupled to the gripping element, wherein the telescopic cylinder is adjustable to different lengths, and a base housing, comprising: an electric motor located within the housing, a battery, a coupler for coupling the motor to the telescopic cylinder, the coupler comprising a tubular element, wherein the rotating shaft of the electric motor is inserted into an orifice in the first end, and wherein the second end is inserted into the proximal end of the telescopic cylinder, a cylindrical element that surrounds at least a portion of the tubular element, and at least one flange that connects the cylindrical element to the tubular element. The base housing also includes a switch on an exterior surface, the switch for activating power to the electric motor, wherein upon activation of power to the electric motor, the electric motor rotates the shaft, resulting in rotation of the coupler, the telescopic cylinder and the gripping element, thereby rotating a lightbulb to which the gripping element is attached.
