Lamp Changing Pole

We have finally got around to putting the lamp changing pole on the web site, they are a top quality product and consequently quite expensive.
When you consider the cost of a cherry picker and the health and safety implications of using that kind of access equipment it looks a bit more reasonable, also once you have paid for it you have it for ever, they are pretty much indestructible.
The pole is a high quality fibre glass telescopic tube with very positive locking system which you can set at various heights up to a maximum of 20ft. it is all in feet because they are American.
It is fibreglass to ensure the operator is fully insulated from the light fitting.
It works by forcing a sprung loaded basket over the lamp which holds it firmly while you unscrew the lamp.
Obviously it works the same way to put a new lamp in place.

Some limitations.
The light fitting must be fixed in place, not hanging on chains, it might seem obvious but you would be surprised.
The lamp must be vertical; you cannot use it on a low bay for instance which has the lamp horizontal.
Although we talk about discharge lamps i.e. Son, metal halide and mercury there is no reason why you cannot use it with filament lamps as well, it is very flexible.

They comes with two heads the normal one will handle most Son, metal halide and mercury lamps,

The other is a very useful tool for removing broken lamp bases, it is a serrated metal spike which you push into remains of the lamp and this allows you to undo the lamp and the remains drop into the tray underneath the spike, this stops it dropping into you face as you look upwards.
We can supply an even larger basket if ou have reflector type lamps, details on request.
We can supply longer poles than the 20 ft one we have on the site but you are getting to the point where you need two people to operate it, the 20 ft one when you allow for the height of the operator to reach lamps at over 8 metres high.
