If you build a stand that is approximately 6" shorter than the ceiling in the room with an adjustable diameter rubber circular clamp, you can hold the lightbulb firmly in place. Next, go up into the attic and cut out the ceiling around the fixture..................

I had some thing similar in mind. Cut down on carpel tunnel from changing light bulbs. But I was going to motorize the sockets to thread/un-thread using a bi metal spring to hold the bulb. Place the bulb in the holder, press the button (or better yet, use a clapper. You know "clap on, clap off"), an voila!
On second thought the clapper idea may not be a good one. I can just see every bulb in the whole house falling out of the ceiling every time American Idol is on.
