Light replacing apparatus for replacing bulbs in street lamps

A method for changing a light bulb in a parking light pole, comprising the steps of:

• disposing a housing on the top of a light pole for holding a lamp holder having a lamp disposed therein;
• holding the lamp holder in the housing by urging the lamp holder downward with springs against upper edges of a plurality of pivoting members that interface with a bottom surface of the lamp holder;
• removing the lamp holder by the steps of:
• urging a removal apparatus up through an annulus in the center of the light pole to urge the plurality of pivoting members outward and away from the bottom surface of the lamp holder to allow the lamp holder to fall and be captured by the removal apparatus, and
• pulling the removal apparatus downward through the annulus with the lamp holder.

A method for changing a light bulb in a parking light pole, comprising the steps of:

• replacing a lamp holder by the steps of:
• disposing the lamp holder in an installation device, and
• urging the installation device upward such that the lamp holder causes a plurality of pivoting members to urge outward, the diameter of the installation device such that the pivoting members can return to their normal position without interference from the installation device,
• after the pivoting members in the pivoted outward position are passed upward by the lamp holder, the pivoting members will pivot back to the normal position,
• urging the installation device down in an annulus to allow the lamp holder to be urged downward by springs against the pivoting members, and
• removing the installation device.
