However, we have had the experience of CFL lights going out much quicker than normal light bulbs in a completely enclosed fixture such as that one (they get too hot.) So maybe it would be worth a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895312.post-62393082497232905162009-01-04T23:29:00.000-05:002009-01-04T23:29:00.000-05:00Definitely put a CFL lightbulb in when you do get ...Definitely put a CFL lightbulb in when you do get to replace it (I think they're the longest lasting ones out there). <BR/><BR/>As for a ladder, have you considered the <A HREF="http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396672905&bmUID=1231129681156&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524443301725&assortment=primary&fromSearch=true" REL="nofollow">telescoping ladders</A> that are now available?Christine Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04655168720624467508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895312.post-82545875028377534932009-01-04T19:17:00.000-05:002009-01-04T19:17:00.000-05:00I understand completely.

So far the bulb that was there when we bought the house has lasted, and we are on the market now and crossing our fingers it doesn't go out before we sell.

I'd probably leave it for ages as well. <BR/><BR/>I suggest when you manage it, change the globe to a CFL type (Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb) - we have some in our house which have lasted years (we brought them with us from our last rental, in fact).<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
