Changing a light above a stairwell

[MFS Electrical]

apologies if this has been covered anywhere else but I’ve looked and can’t find anything... so a customer has asked if we could change a light in their stairwell and I have to admit I’m at a loss as to how to do it safely? The stairwell is a lot like the one in this video but I’m not sure that this platform thing is the way to go.... anyone else done any similar jobs that could help me out or have a more cost effective solution was thinking of Using our stair ladders but the new light is quite heavy and fiddly so ideally I would like to have two men up there to take the weight of it etc so that kinda rules out the stair ladders any thoughts.

Looks like you're playing capture the flag and just threw a granade at the opposition even though you've already won.

I laughed far to hard at that there after looking back at the drawing I think I really need my bed

Hope you didn’t forget the spurs and the horse in the background
