Review on Bayco LBC 800 Broken Bulb Changer: Effortless Solution for Removing Broken Bulbs by Dusty Oner

If you know how this works, you can ignore my attempt to describe it to consumers like me who ordered it blind or just based on the reviewers' overall positive recommendation. As shown in the picture, you will get two phallic shaped objects: one for regular sockets; one for small candelabra sockets. Each is covered with a black rubber prophy tip that you insert into the corresponding socket with the broken bulb. The smaller tip fits inside the larger tip and has a screw for attaching: 1. mounting together and 2. one of the tips on a long extension (not included but available from Revain) to access the ceiling lights. an inactive device so cleverly configured that two sizes take up as much space as one size. The design also omits an extra screw, protecting the wearer from losing a size when they need another. Now the interactive part of the puzzle begins: the task is to unscrew the base of a broken or burnt out lightbulb in the socket. Nothing scares me more than swapping out a lightbulb across the basement-downstairs or downstairs-attic area. I climb up my aluminum ladder and look down to quickly assess the danger of falling not only onto the floor with the ladder, but also onto the extra floor just below the overhead light socket. Considering the extent of injury from a two-story fall — perhaps on the way down against a railing, grandfather clock, or stair banister (be it one or all three) — is an extremely daunting prospect. Anyway, I started my story. a futile attempt to unscrew 3 dead candelabra bulbs in the ceiling light of our entrance. I smashed the bulbs and started pushing in and out (turning the Bayco counterclockwise). I figured the rubber tips would be resilient or strong enough to use whatever arm and shoulder strength I was capable of. Not so! The tips are more like a balloon—thick-walled but foldable with minimal pressure—than a hard rubber surface that can be pushed down with enough force to twist tiny lightbulbs out of their sockets. Continuing the descriptive images in the first sentence, my 2nd paragraph (above), I could end with the following statement: A rubber tip that softens is a poor insertion choice. As a result, this aid, no matter how ingenious, is just as unsuccessful as it is prone to success when it comes to bringing the glowing lamp back to life. I hope Revain will show some bright, attractive and most importantly easy to install new ceiling lights. Two happy endings: 1. Revain has a nice light fixture that can hold two regular 60-watt lightbulbs—all for $12.95. I quickly ordered one. 2. I kept playing with the Bayco changer until I hyperventilated long enough to design a better device and MO - capable of "forked lightning"! Noticing an old skinny dinner fork, I estimated it was about the size of the base of the broken candelabra in the overhead light. So I grabbed a fork and found a rubber glove, found myself back up the stepladder and poked around until I unscrewed each broken base and replaced all three. I flipped the switch and voila! The brilliance of these three small tributes was more spectacular than any civilian fireworks display. I hold a fork (but no patents). "Shark Tank" regularly rewards collectors of cosmetics, collectors of children's sets, extreme athletes and gourmets. But the show doesn't seem to have enough products for the ever-growing number of retired homeowners.
