A light bulb changer including an elongated pole having a first configured to be rotated about a longitudinal axis thereof, a support structure engaged with the elongated pole near a second end of the elongated pole, and a bulb holder extending from a second end of the support structure. A pair of cog belt pullies and a belt positioned therebetween transfer the rotation of the elongated pole about tis longitudinal axis to rotation of the bulb holder about a central axis thereof that is spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the elongate pole. The bulb changer enabling removal and replacement of light bulbs of overhead light fixtures with a user safely positioned on a floor under the light fixture with a clear line of sight of the bulb and without the need for ladders or other elevations.

The invention is an apparatus for connecting and disconnecting light bulbs including a suction cup and at least one structure for interrupting suction to the suction cup.

A light bulb removal assembly includes a handle that may be manipulated thereby facilitating the handle to be directed toward a light bulb. A neck is coupled to the handle.

The neck is comprised of a bendable material. Thus, the neck is positionable at a selected angle with respect to the handle. A cup is coupled to the neck and the cup frictionally engages the light bulb when the handle is directed toward the light bulb. The cup rotates when the handle is manipulated. Thus, the cup removes the light bulb from a socket.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a lamp manipulation tool (LMT) having a bellows engaged within a container and fluidly connected to a vacuum source disposed in the container, the vacuum source being configured to apply a suction such that the bellows is releasably coupled to a lamp when the lamp occludes an aperture of the bellows. In an illustrative example, the bellows may have a first aperture into the bellows and a second aperture within the bellows. The first aperture may, for example, be larger than the second aperture. The vacuum source may, for example, be operated by a remote switch. The container may, for example, be coupled to a handle. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a single LMT that allows a user to manipulate a variety of lamps beyond the user's normal reach.

A light bulb remover extracts a broken light bulb from a socket of a high-hat light fixture. The light bulb remover has an extension pole and an extractor head attached to the extension pole. The extractor head has a guide which defines an outer circumference of the extractor head and a bulb extractor configured for engaging in a base of the broken light bulb and creating a friction connection with the base of the light bulb. The bulb extractor is surrounded by the guide, and the guide has a diameter being less than a diameter of the high-hat light fixture and dimensioned so that when the light bulb remover is disposed within the high-hat light fixture the bulb extractor is self-aligned with a middle area of the base of the broken light bulb.
