THOMAS R. SMITH, Appellant, v. SHELL OIL COMPANY et al., Defendants and Third-Party Plaintiffs-Respondents. ISLAND PUMP AND TANK CORP., Third-Party Defendant-Respondent.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with one bill of costs.

Since the changing of lightbulbs, by itself, is not "repairing", as that term is used in Labor Law § 240 (1) (see, Manente v. Ropost, Inc., 136 A.D.2d 681; cf., Izrailev v. Ficarra Furniture, 70 N.Y.2d 813), the Supreme Court properly granted the motions of the defendants and the third-party defendant for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

In light of the foregoing determination, we need not reach the parties' remaining contentions. O'Brien, J.P., Pizzuto, Joy and Krausman, JJ., concur.
