    They do have poles which can be extended to reach that high (might need a ladder as well) and grip the bulb.

    I've changed bulbs in recessed lighting with a pole/gripper thing I bought at Home Depot.

    You can usually pop those off by hand. Time to get a giant ladder.

    Replace with LED bulbs so you don't have to change them for years.

    The enclosed ones are sort of a pain in the ass when changing if you're not up close to it using your hands...especially if it has a metal tension lock. Looks like you need a giant ladder.
