Just one, but it will take quite a while.
First, the writer will need to put together an outline -- at the very least a synopsis covering what it is he/she intends to do with the bulbs. Remember, this is for two bulbs; the one needing replacing and the new one.
After he/she is satisfied with the outline, the plot will need to be scrutinized carefully to determine if the removal of one bulb and the subsequent replacement with the other bulb is consistent with the story line and that one action is in a logical sequence to the other. Any discrepancy at this stage could throw the writer into severe bulb block and nothing would get done.
Once satisfied with the outline, it will have to be passed around to several friends and relatives to get their reactions to the intended action. If this meets with enough approval and solicitous congratulations are offered up for his/her work in progress, he/she must write the first few lines to get a "feel" for the story to make absolutely certain that the bulbs have been well rounded out. Providing he/she is grabbed by the first few lines, he/she may then proceed to finish the story of "The Changing of the Bulb" and submit it to an editor friend.
This is the crux. If the editor doesn't mutilate the story beyond recognition, he/she (the writer) will be ready to go ahead with the action, being sure to follow all the movements exactly as described by the omniscient narrator (the one who knows all -- past, present, and future).
The reason the process will require considerable time, besides all the steps required, is because the writer will have to do this on coffee breaks and during lunch so that there will be enough light to see what he/she is doing.

Just one, but only after intense research to discover the best way to go about changing a light bulb and the best bulb to use. Then and only then, after many revisions and approval by the editor...
every light bulb in the house will need to be replaced with the use of candle light because of the time this whole procedure took!

well it takes one writer to think about changing the lightbulb. Then they have to convey the idea to their agent to sell. Then the publisher puts it on the market, and the consumer is the one who actually changes the lightbulb.

Only one, but it will take three books before all the other characters accept that the lightbulb has changed.

Wow, usually you hear that about blondes. LOL. I am blonde, but not tall enough to reach the lightbulb, so about 2 if you are short. Ha ha
