Would you take a job that requires you to change just one lightbulb at the tune of $122,000? Most people would easily agree to this in a heartbeat however, once you hear the details of the position, you might want to change your mind.
If you’ve been looking for a career change and the prospect of earning an impressive salary has got your attention, then look no further than this unique job opportunity.
The TikTok video shared by Science8888 is causing shockwaves on social media due to its incredible pay-out – up to £100,000 for changing a lightbulb. Before you start packing your bags and booking that plane ticket to take on this seemingly simple task, there are some things you should know about what it takes to become a Tower Lantern Changer.
It goes without saying that fear of heights isn’t going to get you very far in this profession; if rollercoasters make you feel dizzy then this is definitely not the job for you. Similarly, physical fitness is key as it can take around three hours just to climb from the ground up to the top of the 600m tower – that’s six hours round trip.
In terms of appearance, these towers are built with metal brackets which can be quite thin at higher altitudes; therefore any climbers must rely solely on their ropes for protection against high winds which can reach nearly 100 kilometres per hour. So if these conditions sound like something you might be able to handle then read on.

The TikTok video claims that Tower Lantern Changers have potential earnings of up to £100,000 but other sites list various figures ranging from £13 -£40 per hour depending on experience level. Job posts listed on Jooble offer between £16-35 an hour or up to £240-a-day and another lists hourly wages of up to £32 an hour.
So while it may not be quite as lucrative as initially thought, there’s still money in it – especially if getting paid 6 figures for changing a lightbulb sounds appealing.
