hey if it works…
This was quite the bright idea.
I wonder if that bulb is even bright enough to make any sort of difference…
@Gargomon
Damn it, must read the title of the image more often.
This was the highlight of my day.
You’re right since sodium street light are 110W like this one! No real saving however…
Look at the brighter side of it, it’s probably cheaper than the real thing!
About 18 inches lower though!
It needs a cut out Pepsi bottle to shield it from the weather.
Just when you go towards the light, dont get shocked. Even if it’s poorly maintained.
It takes a pretty dim bulb to fix-er like that.
boring!
@JB
Come on baby light my fire:):)
I see da light.
The real problem is someone needs to pull the string to turn it on every night.
Which is brighter, the installer or the bulb? My money is on the bulb.
Shocking!
I can’t find my car but, hey- at least the moths are entertained.
@elaine
Don’t be so tough…

“The real problem is someone needs to pull the string to turn it on every night.”
Can’t tell, but I was wondering it the fixture is one of those inexpensive sensor types. So it might go on and off when it should. Until a 15 m.p.h. gust brings it down. Based on appearance this is one of my favorite submissions. Nice find, Mike.
that should be “if”, not “it”. I have to proof my own stuff.
Home WareHouse. Less Improvement. For Less.
ever since i lowered the light the grass seems to grow at night, too.
While they didn’t recycle a Pepsi bottle, they should have least been “green” and used a CFL.
@arrarr
thankyou!
We need a follow up picture of this thing in operation.
I like this chandelier idea way better.
If only I had gone back at night to see it in action. hey, I might do this year. but againg I have to point out that as you can see in the pic, only 1 wire is connected to the bulb!
to the person “mike” – commented at oct 28th at 5:17 :
I sure hope you’re not trying to pretend to be me.
nonetheless, a chandelier instead would be genius.
this lamppost is one of the older types with no sensor on. I checked while I was there.
needs a beer bottle then it would be a BUD LIGHT geddit!?!…aw cmon show some love :,(
this is a sign that the maintenance really sucks
Maybe a funnel or at least the top of a milk jug between the wires and the bulb. Just say’n.
