A device provided with a stick for screwing in and out electrical lamps located at an elevated position from a floor comprises a plurality of suction cups arranged circularly at one end of the stick. The suction cups are arranged to be urged against the glass body of a lamp by means of the stick and in doing so by an evacuation of a portion of the air in the suction cups adhering to the glass body of the lamp so firmly that the lamp is able to be screwed in or out. The suction cups are arranged in the interior of an annular head rigidly connected to the stick. An annular body is guided adjustable relative to the lamp on the annular head.
