The neighbors paint from a ladder and around the existing light. And
of course, hire a pro to paint (I just cannot bring myself to pay over
1k for paint). One neighbor built scaffold out of lumber, painted,
then disassembled and used the wood to build his deck. I just climbed
up my Gorilla ladder, scaffolding is the way to go.
