Default Ideas on Changing a Light Fixture in a Tall Foyer?

Ok, i need to change out a chandelier in a 2 story foyer...
Any ideas on how to safely reach the middle of the foyer to change out
the fixture?


If there is a second floor landing that looks out onto the foyer
AND only the chandelier (not the chain) is to be replaced
AND the chain is long enough
you can use a long pole with a hook on the end to pull the hanging
chandelier to the second floor landing to do whatever is necessary
without need for a ladder. Just be careful when dropping the chandelier
back down so it doesn't smash into the opposite wall.
