If the 17ft model is in A frame, how high is the highest rung you can stand on? I'm 5'4", need to stand in middle of room to change bulbs,tall ceiling

I am 5'6" and stand on the second rung so am sure you will be fine beside even in A frame configuration you can extend one or boot sides.

The model 17 telescopes up to a 7' A-frame step ladder. You should stand down at least 2 to 3 rungs/feet from the top rung. Which would put your feet at the 4' level. If you can reach 6' overhead, that would give up up to a 10' reach.

I bought the extra large casters and I can guarantee it's way taller than 17.5. I'm 6'8" and I find it's a little too high.

My bulbs are installed in a horizontal orientation under a metal dome that is only 4 inches deep. At the highest output setting I can still handle the lit bulbs. The base is the warmest area of the bulb, so 'base-up' is probably the best orientation.

I see where you are coming from. I don't know exactly since mine is put together with things on that shelf...but you do need a tall ceiling for assembly. Mine is in the garage. I took it outside, flipped the shelf & brought it in. It wheels very easily. If that is not an option for you, you can lay it down on the floor...flip the shelf over...then stand it up. It's not that heavy & very maneuverable. I LOVE mine!!!! It holds a large amount of things...easy to move...& looks great!!! Worth every penny!!!!

The 26' is the total length with extended. However, both sides telescope, so it is easily tall enough when in an a-frame setup to allow you to reach a 17' ceiling. The ladder is very heavy, but this is mainly only a problem when opening or closing it. Moving it about isn't a problem for me.

The 17' Model 17 reaches seven feet in the "A" frame position. Note that the height of the top step in this position is roughly 80" above the ground.

If the ladder is unfolded to its full 17 foot length, it's a safety consideration and, additionally, depends upon what you are doing. Regardless, you probably don't want to stand where the top rung is lower than your waist if you intend to do anything that requires keeping your balance. In that regard, this ladder is no different from any other ladder of similar length. If you are leaning against a building, you won't get much higher than the top rung being at your chest. If you are leaning against a tree limb you might get a rung higher. In any case, you don't want to have a situation where you are either bending your body backwards or reaching backwards to do the work.

Without taking down the light fixture in the garage ( my garage ceiling is about 14 feet high), I would say the distance between each sockets is no more then 2 inches. I feel any normal compact fluorescent would fit, but the Eiko 81180 - SP105/50/MED would not since there is not enough clearance between the sockets. In addition I have the Utilitech 65-Watt (300W) Spiral Medium Base Soft White (2700K) CFL Bulb in another socket in a workshop and feel the weight of the bulb alone would be to much for the base. I would stick to something similar to 4 GE CFL Light Bulb: 26 Watt (100W Equivalent) bulbs for this socket, which ended up being more light then I expected. Anything more would not fit or exceed the weight the socket could handle. The socket base is just plastic and doesn't exactly fit very tight.

The ceiling is too low the fan alone will take about a foot. Average person of 5.10 ft raises there arm. That Will add another foot or so. It will be a very close fit. also I hope they need a fan that pulls about 8500cfm this is what you use on large room or catedral ceiling

As it sits assembled, mine stands at 80" (6'-8") at it's highest point. The rim is 18" (1'-6) below that highest point. On really high arching shots you might hit your ceiling but in my opinion you'd be fine as most shots would never go that high.

They do make a much higher one which I have seen in person, but the one I ordered is under 4.5in tall. I would double check with the manufacture to make sure they didn't switch them.

I am 5' and my ceiling is 7' and I have no problems using this machine. The pedals highest spot is 18 1/2 ". But if you are short you will have problems using the moving arms. I am thinking of taking mine off as I can not use them.

I don't think so I'm 5 foot 4 with a seven foot ceiling and I just make it. Also the left peddle keeps coming off! I can only use it for 5 minutes tops before the damn thing comes off! Company's customer service sucks! Have considered using gorilla glue on it but it has to move f. reely in its socket, so I guess that isn't an option . Stuck with a expensive piece of junk. My advice keep looking!

I just checked and it's around 65 inches. There are no special tools needed, I swear this is very easy to assemble. Just a suggestion, tho. I most recommend that you use these bulbs for this lamp. It worked best for me in terms of lighting and durability. I hope it helps! Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

Apologies, I'm currently not in the same location as the fixture; however, it's approx. 9-10" tall at the center. I love this fixture and after about 8 months [?], it's been super-duper.

I have 7' ceilings on my front porch and I have mine hanging there. I chose to have the swivel bracket and the spring and can still sit with about 8" to the ground. I would prefer it a bit higher but wont give up the spring to do it. I love this thing and spend a lot of my summer in it. I take it camping and hang it in a tree nearby too. Next accessory for me will be the bracket that goes into my class II receiver.
