Even though it is a metal food can, it actually is pretty pliable, especially the bottom where I would be attaching the pole. I just drilled a small hole and used the M3 15mm screw and locking nut to attach the plastic cap to the "suction gripper." I used a little bit of wax around the hole before tightening it down in order to protect any seal I might be able to get with the can. The curtain rod I had found in the attic portion above the garage and had come with the house, conveniently had snug-fitting plastic end caps which I used to attach my gripper cup. This DIY tutorial was created by Cody Elliott, our Newport Branch’s adult/teen services programmer. I then used a punch to poke a hole in the center for the screw.

Essentially, all it was doing was providing some tackiness and a way to seal the "suction cup." I was kind of in a hurry anyway, so instead of looking for the ideal material, I used what I had on hand. I imagine there are plenty of substitutes, even ones that would work better.
Happily, it was exactly what I needed for this project. Anyone who knows me will tell you that it is normal for me to have such things lying around. I don't know why I have a lump of beeswax, but I do. A few minutes later the bastard child of necessity and stinginess was born. I was thinking there needed to be a middle ground between the suction cup and the grippy-claw thing, but what would that look like? On my way out to the car, I was taking the trash out as well and noticed through the bag this little can that had once housed delicious green chilis, and BAM! I had a moment. I was dubious about the quality of either of these in terms of actually holding onto the light bulb hard enough to turn it in place, but still be able to disengage it at a distance without pulling the fixture down or breaking something. I had looked at the light bulb changers online, and they seemed fairly simple, either they were an array of suction cups that gripped the smooth glass on the front of the flood light, or they had some robot -hand-looking spring metal and rubber gripper. What actually happened is: I was walking out to my car to drive the the hardware store and buy a light bulb changer on a stick, as I hadn't been able to come up with a suitable solution to the fact that I have 6 floodlights to put up, all in places that would require a really really tall ladder (which I don't own) or a light bulb-holder-stick contraption (which I also did not own).
