That is odd! @-@ Where there any others there, and do you have any plans to rescue them? :wndr:

Wonder if it’s been ‘vigilante re-lamped’, as those tubes seem a little too good?
My first thought was, “how’s it escaped vandalism”?, but even if you saw a solitary light in the middle of a wood, shining at night, you would just assume it was someone’s house?

I would assume it's owned by someone, seeing that it's on a metal pole, and is actually taken care of. No doubt vandals would've destroyed the light long ago if it was abandoned.

I would leave that light alone if I were you. Sure, it's a cool light to look at and have, but I'd leave it like that. Not worth getting in trouble with law for something that still works and is on every night. Plus you get to see it lit. :)

At the very least you should ask the owner if you can have it or could swap it for a different light like a LED light and do it the right way.

It’s ok, it’s on park land use to be a track to a table with a roof over it that’s long gone, it’s over 100 meters or more from another Gough GL500 MV witch is on a much higher pole in the car park.

I love this, it's like something out of a dream.

I like my lamps thick, my ballasts heavy, and my fixtures tough.
