Interesting to hear. There is a post doing the rounds on Insta where it shows a tower like the one in the video and says something like "You change a bulb on the top of this tower every 6 months and get $20k for doing it."

I guess that's not accurate then.

No it definitely is not. You absolutely could pay $20k as a client for two full business days of work on top of a 1000' broadcast tower by a crew of four guys, repairing/modifying/replacing things, but not for just changing the bulb. If the obstruction lighting needed more labor intensive repairs or replacement you could easily spend more than $20k for a more complicated project. That video and social media post are a well known trope in the industry.

Haha. I bet they must hate it when they see those videos.
