But this is the wrong question, neither answerable nor in any way meaningful. It assumes a state of equilibrium where there is only struggle, the struggle for self-mastery. For when you change the light bulb, the light bulb also changes you in turn. Tomorrow a man will awaken with new lighting fixtures and a sense of mortal peril, and it is that very danger which shall be his only true friend.

"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how."
This must include the changing of lightbulbs.. if they want to change.
Nietzsche was kind of nutty but he was undeniably smart and sometimes wise. Were he to give advice on lightbulbs I'd at least give it serious consideration.
