    We live in a VM TH. I need to replace one of the recess lights right above the stairs. The problem is that its in such and awkward place that I cannot reach it. It on the ceiling of second floor, above the first flight of stairs. From the stairs its about 20-25 feet, from the 2nd floor I cannot reach it even via a ladder cause its at least 5 feet away and I run a serious risk of falling if I try.

    Suggestions ?

    Hard to say without really seeing it but what about a 20 to 40 foot extension ladder? I would think there is enough room to extend it from the stairs or from an angle on the main floor. I had to do this for hanging a picture in my 2-story stairs and sounds like similar challenges. Maybe take a picture and post the area so we see what it looks like?
