Yeah ghost,
But it shouldn't have to be like that.
I can see what you are saying and yes 9/10ths of the time, Management causes these problems.
Oddly enough, all the "little" jobs happen to be the most dangerous, like "change that lamp in that 500W halogen that we had installed last week, you might not be able to lean your ladder up against the pole because it's only 1" galv pipe and it's also 6ft above the roof, but have a go anyway, see how you go with that"
In a situation like that, I would hand the lamp back and say, "see how you go with that one, sweetheart, I like being able to walk"
Actually, the fitting this clown was talking about was a 500W Metal Halide fitting that had a bad ballast.
I cut the mast off and welded a new one on, the other one was far too high, the roof was 50ft off the ground.
