Looking for a light bulb changer near you?

What does light-bulb changing on gigit include?

Changing a light bulb sounds simple, but a high ceiling, a bulb stuck in its fitting, or not knowing which type to buy can quickly turn it into a chore. Light-bulb changing on gigit takes care of it: post the task, compare offers from heroes near you, and pay once the light is working again. Whether it is one bulb in the kitchen or every fitting in the house after a move, you describe what you need and local heroes handle the rest.

The bulb and fitting jobs you can book:

Standard bulb replacement

Replacing a bulb that has blown, gone dim, or started to flicker. Book it when a bulb has died, a tube keeps flickering, or you are switching old bulbs over to LED. Bulbs come in different fittings and types, screw or bayonet, fluorescent tube, halogen, or spotlight, so if you are not sure which you have, add a photo of the old bulb to your task. Many people switch to LED when an old bulb burns out, so it helps to say in the task whether you want like-for-like or a change to LED.

Ceiling and high or hard-to-reach lights

Changing bulbs and tubes that are too high to reach safely from a chair, such as ceiling lights, downlights, and fittings over a stairwell or high shelf. Book this when the light is out but the height makes it awkward or risky to reach yourself. The hero comes with a ladder, takes down the cover or diffuser, fits the bulb or tube, and checks it before packing up.

Plug-in lamps and light fittings

Setting up and swapping fittings that work off a plug or a clip rather than the mains wiring, such as standing and desk lamps, clip-on and track fittings, and plug-in lights. Book this when you want a lamp assembled and set up, or a plug-in or clip-on fitting put in place. The hero brings the tools to mount or assemble it and leaves it ready to use.

Not sure which bulb you need?

You do not have to work it out yourself. Add a photo of the old bulb or the fitting when you post the task, then compare the offers you get from light-bulb changers near you.
