4. I agree how odd that is. But to your actual question.

I got a changer kit that screws onto a pole from Lowes quite a while back.
I use it to change floods that are about 30' up outside the house.

Its cheap and comes with a variety of options to grab bulbs. Suction cup, a couple different spring clips.
Should do the trick.

You should find them just about anywhere.



In response to the previous post.
If the bulb is frozen in the socket it will probably break off regardless if you are using a pole or not and you would still have to dig the base out.
Ive found that the adaptors do not grip that tightly and more likely would just slip on a frozen lamp.
Well maybe not the suction cup if it got an exceptionally good grip.

Oh in addition. They also have a rubber adaptors to try and remove broken off bases.
Never had to try that though.
