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.<br>
