I bought this because after a remodeling project last summer our recessed bulbs had burned out. Since the ceilings were vaulted, some bulbs were abut 12 ft up (just an approximate guess). Anyways, we had R16 bulbs, which are only 2 inches wide. In addition they were housed in an eyeball type fixture. The suction cup on our other bulb changing kit was way too big. The red suction cup on this worked perfectly!

- I've only used the mid-size cup for indoor floodlights, but they all work on the same idea - suction cups.

- It's much easier using this than getting out the ladder to change high bulbs.

- It does take a little practice to get a feel for how to make/break the suction seal when installing/removing a bulb.

Overall, I would highly recommend this.

I have a light fixture that I can't get my hand into to change the bulb. This bulb changer works great. I mounted it onto a mop handle. I drilled a hole in the handle to use the locking device to hold it in place for when you unscrew the bulb. The bulb changer does not come with a handle but it comes with a locking device for a handle.

Shouldn't be called Mr. Longarm if it does not come with an extension. Ok Ok you can use a broom handle or some other appropriate pole but they should warn you that the thing is only 8 inches long when it comes out of the box. It is only fair.

Easy to follow instructions and works great! I have very high ceilings with lamps. This is exactly what I needed to replace the bulbs. Note you need a matching long pole (not included in this)

I used the long pole from same compnay (purchased separately, locally). None of the 3 suction cups that come with the unit work on flood lamps with the type of corrugated surface that diffuses the light downward.
If you do get it to work, you can pretty much count on a bulb coming down on you ....so be ready to catch it!

This light bulb grabber works very well as long as you are careful to ensure that the bulb is securely held before attempting to install a new bulb. I had no problem removing the burned out recessed bulb from my high ceiling, but my first try at putting in the replacement bulb resulted in a shattered bulb. I found that wiping the grabber with a damp (just barely damp, not wet) cloth first made the suction between grabber and bulb more secure and I was able to easily screw in the new bulb.
