Mr. LongArm’s Smart Bulb Changer Combo is the perfect way to change high ceiling light bulbs. Included are 3 suction cup style bulb changers that will allow the user to change flood lights, spot lights, and LED/incandescent light bulbs. Also included is Mr. LongArm’s 3 to 6 ft. non-conductive light bulb extension pole. Unlike most competitor’s extendable poles, which are made of steel or have metal parts, our poles and slider tubes are made of fiberglass making them a safer option. All of the products included are Made in the USA.

Works as advertised.
I used this to change the lightbulb in my basement stairwell. The suction cup attachment works as advertised. It did not come with detailed written instructions. Rather it came with a link to an instructional video on how to use this device. Watching this video is key to using this device successfully. Since only the video covers how to engage the pin in the bottom of the cup attachment to create a good suction on the light bulb.

Life saver!
I have a lot of outdoor lights. These save me so much time and energy and I DON’T HAVE TO CLIMB LADDERS. Get one – you won’t regret it. Any open bottom fixture you can easily change the bulbs!

Works great – if you follow the directions ….
I have about 10 pot lights in my kitchen, and probably a dozen more throughout my house. I also have 10′ ceilings. I’m of an age where climbing up a ladder to change bulbs isn’t exactly my favorite activity. I decided to give Mr. Long Arm a try after reading the reviews here. One burned out bulb — 10 minutes later, the new bulb was in place, and there were no bulb casualties.
The trick, I think, is to make sure the vacuum seal isn’t compromised. The suction cup “head” has about a 1/4″ “give” with the pole. When the head is “out,” it exposes a tiny hole that allows air to break the vacuum seal. In the “in” position, the seal is intact, and the bulb is held tightly. I found that if I “pulled” on the pole at anytime during the screw/unscrew operation, the vacuum seal would break, and the bulb would be loose. The trick, then, is to maintain some pressure on the bulb/socket by pushing slightly until you’re ready to release the bulb, then pull back slightly to open the vacuum seal. It doesn’t take much pressure — just enough to keep the suction head from moving into the “out” position.
I tried this out by removing and reinstalling a couple of good bulbs, and that’s how it seems to work. It might take a bit of practice to get the hang of it, but it will be well worth it. No more climbing up on ladders!
