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

Ok, i need to change out a chandelier in a 2 story foyer. I have a 20
foot and a 32 foot extension ladder, but the foyer is too wide to reach
the middle where the fixture is attached to the ceiling with the ladders
leaning on the side walls.
Any ideas on how to safely reach the middle of the foyer to change out
the fixture?
Thanks in advance. jim



If its a one time job you may be able to rent a scissor lift
(manlift) . They are hugely heavy though so getting one inside may be
an issue.

Otherwise scaffolding is the way to go.
