Those bulbs are General Electric Base type PS40, 620 watts and 120VAC for anyone interested. And that brand usually last 3 to 5.000 hours.

Thank you for taking the time to put this video up for us to view. It's really interesting to watch.

My first tower climb was the KCAU TV tower in Sioux City, Iowa in June, 1986. At 11:30 pm, after the station went off the air, we left the diner after having coffee and pie. We rode the tiny elevator (2 peeps inside & 2 on top) up to about the 1,700' level, then climbed up the ladder another 180'+ feet to the actual antenna, then climbed the bat wings to the top, 2,001' to change the light bulb. There were 4 of us, only me an Al McGraw went to to the top. The KCAU tower was built from 1965 to 1967 and is 609.9 meters (2,001') high. It is tied for the tallest structure in Iowa and is one of the tallest structures in the world. Yee haw... Fun night. Note the lightening pings on the cap...

How much does he make to change the lightbulbs and climb back down?

This is insane but the guy who does this at 2000 feet. Now that is beyond insane.

"Are you there today man?" "Nah I gave to replace a light bulb." "Oh, at home right?" "300 ft above the ground."

how many (insert anything) does it take to change a lightbulb at 300 ft height?

I googled the pay levels for tower climbers. These fellows deserve way more.

Question: Do you have to have a parachute with you just in case?

The video with the guy changing the bulb on the 1999ft tower makes this look like a kitty ride. Dude was literally above the clouds in the other video.

Thanks now I can go change my light bulb 300ft in the back yard.

Congrats, nice video. Great views up there! Old tungsten incandescent light bulbs, decades of bright service. It all comes down to price and reliability. Vintage lamps still kick ass in some niche markets. Telecom managers, usually keep a reserve stock of consumibles and systems. They keep using it, until eventual future technology offers more for less $$$$$. LED lights, light emitting diodes, produce electronic light, pretty nice, but always sensitive components. They will get there one day, sooner than later, but at a fat price. Resilience and long trouble free service life, goes hand in hand with good engeneering. An antenna flash beacon is a critical task, no room for "trial and error", and going up there frequently, is bad business... Just imagine the extreme temperatures and vibrations during all the service life of the lamp system. Neon or Xenon flashers and under driven tungsten light bulbs, are established standards, proven by its historical contribution to air safety. 💡 Nice video, please put a close-up of the lamp etch and box next time. Thanks! Cheers from 🇵🇹

Insane My uncles dad died falling off an oil rig a few hundred feet in the late 1970s.

I would certainly hope by now (2023) there is an LED replacement bulb for this application that will last 20K hours or maybe more!
