Makes more sense to use something like this.

I would have expected to see barriers, or at least a second person, at ground level to keep pedestrians away.

I could have swapped that stood on my A frames:-)


Actually we replaced a faulty photocell on the outside light - the
light was on 24/7. The scoffold had been hired to swap a motor on the
curtains in the main hall (higher than that light) and it seemed silly
not to reuse them to swap the pghotocell at the same time. Normally we
use a scissor lift when working on the outside lights as it would be
the replacement of several lamps.

And it was level. A sturdy install - only missing the top platform!
