[sudo-discuss] replace light bulb stick

one of the 8-foot fluorescent lightbulbs in the fixture in the south-east corner of the room needs to be replaced. it's the bulb on the west side of the fixture (the bulb with the blackened end) and it's causing the ballast to overheat and shut off regularly. please get the super-long free-standing ladder (it might be on the stage) and set it up next to the fixture, at the north end of the fixture so you can access the end opposite the spring-loaded contacts. Then push the bad bulb toward the south end to free it from the north-end contact, and carefully lower it down. replacement bulbs are in a box in the room between La Commune and the Ballroom, which is also between the two staircases that go to the upstairs kitchen area. You will need a key to access the room. There also may be new lightbulbs in a box in sudoroom/CCL or perhaps in the basement, or you can steal one from one of the fixtures in the basement labeled "ballast" if it has bulbs in it, but doesn't light up. If you access the supply room to get the bulb, you should consider putting a transparent sheath over the bulb, with the black plastic endcaps over both ends, before installing it. And tape to keep the endcaps from falling off. thank you -jake
