Appleton 158C Lamp Changer BT37 BT46

Product Description

The APPLETON 158C is a lamp changer tool designed for safely replacing large-envelope lamps in the BT37 and BT46 bulb sizes. This type of tool allows electricians and lighting maintenance technicians to seat or remove high-wattage lamps without direct hand contact, reducing the risk of breakage and contamination from skin oils on the lamp envelope. It is used wherever BT37 or BT46 lamps are installed, including industrial fixtures, sports lighting, and commercial high-bay applications. The 158C provides a secure grip on the bulb during installation and removal.

This lamp changer is suited for facilities maintenance crews, licensed electricians, and lighting contractors working on large-envelope lamp systems. Typical applications include warehouses, gymnasiums, arenas, and other commercial or industrial spaces that rely on BT37 or BT46 high-wattage lamps mounted at elevation. The tool simplifies single-person lamp replacement on pole-mounted or ceiling-mounted fixtures where direct hand access is limited or unsafe.

Installation Notes

Lamp changers of this type are used by licensed electricians and qualified lighting maintenance personnel. De-energize the fixture and allow the lamp to cool fully before attempting removal or installation. Follow NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for working on lighting circuits. Do not apply lateral force to the lamp neck during seating, as BT-series lamps are susceptible to base cracking under off-axis load.
