Beth, my nephew was over tonight on their way home from camping. He had a collapsable pole that telescopes out with two different heads. One for standard lightbulbs and one for bigger bulbs. Had long plastic finger like prongs with a metal elastic band around it. It took him seconds to change the bulb! Was a breeze. So they had cookies and we talked a bit. I googled lightbulb changer for high ceilings and a picture came up. So cool.
