Bulb Reach

Change spotlights and test alarms from the floor

Push it onto a broom or mop handle and reach ceiling lights without a ladder: the ribbed cup grips a GU10 or MR16 spotlight to twist it in or out, and the small hub in the middle presses the test button of a smoke alarm. The socket takes handles up to 24 mm. Print it as shown, then turn it over so the floor becomes the top.
