Anyone else get irritated with stairwell lights high above stairways? Makes you have to use stairway scaffolding just to change a tube or ballast & still sometimes have to reach way beyond the scaffolding. I talked a church into putting new lights in ceilings at the upper & lower landings and wall mounts at midpoint landings. Kept where lights can be reached with std 6 or 8 foot stepladder. Existing lights can be left in place and power killed from the nearest JBox. Anyone designing a building should use a little common sense. Stairways are a life/safety issue and changing bulbs/tubes should not be turned into major problems.
