Product Information

Our telescopic poles combine with this selection of bulb changing heads to create an efficient process. Ergonomically designed and lightweight, your workers will thank you for introducing this tool into their operations! When changing your brand-new LED light bulb with your hands, without the help of any tools, there are many things that you could be doing wrong. GU10 light bulbs are some of the most commonly found light bulbs in most homes today, they are used for various types of downlights including both indoor and outdoor fittings. This may initially seem like a rather confusing method to replace a light bulb however this is a very useful tool to use if the method for hand removal is not working.

Reducing the risk of fall-related injuries is critical for ensuring a safe workplace. Each year, ladder falls result in more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries that lead to 300 deaths in the U.S.; in the last decade, this number has tripled. Ladder falls, even those that are from 10 feet or less can cause catastrophic injury, making it all the more important to work with tools that allow for high access reaching without the use of a ladder. Below we have created a short guide on what steps you should take to ensure minimal damage to yourself, your home and your appliances. These incidents are all preventable with Unger’s variety of high access tools that keep your custodian’s feet planted firmly on the ground and protected from falls, hot elements and broken bulb pieces. Historical footnote: One can’t talk about the history of the light bulb without mentioning William Sawyer and Albon Man, who received a U.S. patent for the incandescent lamp, and Joseph Swan, who patented his light bulb in England. There was debate on whether Edison’s light bulb patents infringed on these other inventors’ patents. Eventually Edison’s U.S. lighting company merged with the Thomson-Houston Electric Company -- the company making incandescent bulbs under the Sawyer-Man patent -- to form General Electric, and Edison’s English lighting company merged with Joseph Swan’s company to form Ediswan in England.) When purchasing a light bulb changer kit, it is important to consider the customer support of the shop or marketplace. This is especially important if you are not familiar with how to use the kit. Good customer support will be able to walk you through the process of using the kit and answer any questions you may have.Once your bulb has been attached, all you have to do is guide the pole to the light bulb holder and gently turn it around until it’s been fixed. Make sure to give it a wiggle to ensure whether it’s tightly attached. When you’re done attaching the light bulb, gently pull onto the release string to release the suction. Fixing a Broken Bulb and How to Do It If you’re using a suction cup-style bulb changer, make sure to attach the release string so it’s easy to remove. Most poles also have a telescoping option to make them longer. Change the bulb The DocaPole Light Bulb Changer is an innovative and convenient tool for changing light bulbs in hard-to-reach places. With its telescopic extension pole, reaching up to 24-foot-high ceilings and recessed lights is a breeze. Its premium silicone suction cup has been optimally designed for flat, smooth light bulbs like those used in recessed lighting and canned lighting. The changer also features a secure design with a thumb screw and push pin that tightly secures the suction cup to prevent spinning, meaning users can manipulate the suction cup with confidence. Despite being received with skepticism, Edison's incandescent lamps (as he had begun to call them) eventually took off. This was largely due to several business owners who reported using the new lamps to great effect. The buzz surrounding light bulbs and incandescent lamps subsequently led to competition. First came the Electro-Dynamic Light Company, and then the U.S. Electric Lighting Company. Whereas most of these companies kept struggling to bring a cost-effective bulb to market, Thomas Edison was well on his way to developing a more efficient lamp. While Edison was working on the whole lighting system, other inventors were continuing to make small advances, improving the filament manufacturing process and the efficiency of the bulb. The next big change in the incandescent bulb came with the invention of the tungsten filament by European inventors in 1904. These new tungsten filament bulbs lasted longer and had a brighter light compared to the carbon filament bulbs. In 1913, Irving Langmuir figured out that placing an inert gas like nitrogen inside the bulb doubled its efficiency. Scientists continued to make improvements over the next 40 years that reduced the cost and increased the efficiency of the incandescent bulb. But by the 1950s, researchers still had only figured out how to convert about 10 percent of the energy the incandescent bulb used into light and began to focus their energy on other lighting solutions. Energy Shortages Lead to Fluorescent Breakthroughs

One of the fastest developing lighting technologies today is the light-emitting diode (or LED). A type of solid-state lighting, LEDs use a semiconductor to convert electricity into light, are often small in area (less than 1 square millimeter) and emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for reflectors and diffusers that can trap light. Once removed, be sure to throw away your old bulb to ensure that you do not get this confused with your new bulb to ensure that you do not waste money, time or effort. There are an array of different processes you can use, some of them more simple than others, that will do the job extremely effectively. To pry out a spring-loaded ring, insert the screwdriver between the outer ring and the retaining collar. Taking care not to strike the bulb, apply gentle inward pressure on the collar.Before switching any bulb, not just LED bulbs, it is imperative that you turn off the light switch beforehand to prevent yourself from getting electrocuted. While LEDs are not subject to heat excretion, it is still a good idea to wear heat-protective gloves when changing the bulb as this may also protect against electrical damage. Another method of removing a GU10 bulb by simply using things you could find in your house is to use a plastic straw to help remove the bulb.

To replace the GU10 bulb, push it in with both of your thumbs and rotate it 90 degrees. From here, the bulb should be able to come out. Gently wriggle it until it comes loose and you can then begin unboxing the replacement bulb. Just like hand removal, it is important to remember to turn off your light switches before replacing any bulbs for your own safety. They are also the most efficient lights on the market. Also called luminous efficacy, a light bulb’s efficiency is a measure of emitted light (lumens) divided by power it draws (watts). A bulb that is 100 percent efficient at converting energy into light would have an efficacy of 683 lm/W. To put this in context, a 60- to 100-watt incandescent bulb has an efficacy of 15 lm/W, an equivalent CFL has an efficacy of 73 lm/W, and current LED-based replacement bulbs on the market range from 70-120 lm/W with an average efficacy of 85 lm/W.

What is a GU10 Light Bulb?

Some GU10 light bulbs are lined with a plastic-coated ring of metal which will need to be removed before you can take the bulb out using this method. This can be done with just about anything from a step ladder to a chair however the closer you are to the light bulb, of course, the easier your task will be. Both Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla experimented with fluorescent lamps in the 1890s, but neither ever commercially produced them. Instead, it was Peter Cooper Hewitt’s breakthrough in the early 1900s that became one of the precursors to the fluorescent lamp. Hewitt created a blue-green light by passing an electric current through mercury vapor and incorporating a ballast (a device connected to the light bulb that regulates the flow of current through the tube). While the Cooper Hewitt lamps were more efficient than incandescent bulbs, they had few suitable uses because of the color of the light.

Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb so much as he re-engineered it. By the time Edison began experimenting with carbon filaments during the late 1870s, several other inventors had already developed their own light bulbs, using copper and platinum wires along with various other catalysts. Edison differentiated his bulb by introducing a cheaper and more functional way to reproduce it. This, in turn, allowed for marketing electrical lamps to the general public. If your house happens to have rather high ceilings, changing the lights can be quite difficult without the use of anything to lift yourself closer to the ceiling. You will next be required to fit the flat end of your straw in between the rim of the light fixture and the bulb then push this into around an inch and a half. https://www.familyhandyman.com/electrical/fluorescent-light/how-to-replace-a-fluorescent-light-bulb/view-all/ When looking for the best light bulb changer kit, it is important to compare prices in different shops and marketplaces.
