Brilio.net - Replacing a light bulb installed on the ceiling is not a difficult job, but it is still often troublesome. Many people still use the classic method of climbing a ladder, table, or even a chair just to reach the light socket. Although it looks trivial, this method carries the risk of falling and injury that cannot be underestimated.
As time goes by, household appliances are getting more sophisticated, including tools to replace lamps. However, for some people, buying special tools may feel expensive or not too urgent. Well, this is where creativity speaks.

The method is simple, you can use items that are easy to find at home such as a wooden handle and four tablespoons. The spoons are arranged at the end of the handle and then glued tightly with tape or other adhesive. Its function is to form a kind of hook that can grip the bulb and turn it without having to climb up.
The concept is similar to a fruit picker, but it is specifically designed to reach and twist light bulbs. The wooden handle can use anything, from a mop stick, an old broom, or another long stick. The important thing is that it is strong and long enough to reach the ceiling of the house.
How to use it is also easy. Simply insert the new bulb into the spoon assembly at the end of the stick, then slowly turn it clockwise into the light socket. When you want to remove the old bulb, just turn it counterclockwise. Practical without having to climb anymore.

Although it seems simple, this method is very helpful especially for parents, housewives, or anyone who lives alone. This tool can also be a solution in an emergency or when no one can help. Not only is it cost-effective, but it also reduces the risk of accidents.
The use of such tools must still be accompanied by safety measures. Turning off the electricity from the main fuse is an important step before replacing the lamp. Also, make sure the spoon and handle are firmly attached so that they do not come off when used.
This creation proves that tools don't always have to be expensive or sophisticated. With a little creative idea and simple materials, household activities can be easier and safer. Who would have thought, the usual tablespoon in the kitchen could have another function that is no less useful for everyday needs.
