I rented a 40 foot extension ladder when I needed to get to the top of a 
chimney for some repairs; it was $50 a day.  Go up with a non contact 
voltage detector (answers the switched/ motion sensed, breaker, etc. 
questions) and bring the bulb down.  I am guessing if one bulb burned 
out the other did as well and they were both ignored.  I recommend 
renting a ladder that can do the job or renting the scaffolding you want 
and do both jobs the same day or weekend.

Longer would be better. Expensive, but done.

How to change a light bulb (Scott Hall)
</span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; display: block; width: 98vw;">
&gt; I keep thinking there's a joke in there and I just can't find it.
&gt; 
&gt; New house has two...commercial-esque light fixtures pointing out over
&gt;  the back yard. They don't work and I assume it's the bulbs because I
&gt; had to switch all the other bulbs in this house, so why not those
&gt; too? Plus they're probably expensive (so the previous owner wouldn't
&gt; have wanted to do it), and (the real reason for my question):
&gt; 
&gt; They're about 38-ish feet off the ground. Bolted to the side of the 
&gt; chimney. My extension ladder is 32 feet, and even if Home Depot sells
&gt;  something longer I'm not excited about paying $400+ for it.
&gt; 
&gt; My thoughts now to get this done (in no particular order) are:
&gt; 
&gt; 1) rent scaffolding. This is attractive because I want to change the
&gt;  ceiling fan in the living room as well and that ceiling is only a
&gt; few feet lower than the outside light fixtures. I could do both in
&gt; one day. I'm not sure how else I'd get up to that thing.
&gt; 
&gt; 2) buy the longest extension ladder I can find. I think I'll need 40
&gt;  feet, probably. Longer would be better. Expensive, but done.</span><br>
