yeah, we have one of those. Doesn't work really well when you can't stand, while holding the extender, and turning the light bulb without falling down, or dropping the bulb on your head. Or if the fixture has a glass globe over it, and you can't get up there to get the globe off.
I'm just going to be slowly replacing all our light bulbs with Cree LED bulbs. (the ones that look like real light bulbs. Just not the one that puts out white/bluish light.)
Bought one of the Cree bulbs, the one that puts out the white/bluish light. It puts out a LOT of light, It just doesn't look that natural. It's equal to a 60watt light bulb tho. I'm shocked at how much light it puts out.
I put it in a lamp first, and it didn't seem to put out a lot of light, but when our Orkin man came last week, and he put it in one of the fixtures in my room that has a glass globe over it. It seems to put out more light that the 75 watt incandescent that I used to have in that fixture.
Think I read that the Cree bulbs are supposed to last seven or eight years. Hopefully that's true.
The only thing I don't like about the bulbs, is that they don't put out any heat. I actually liked the fact that incandescent bulbs would put out heat, because on cold days, I'd close my bedroom door, and let the heat from the lights warm the room up.
