We have pole light in our front yard and the recent storms have beat the crap out of it, blown the top off. I found the top though, two doors down.
It doesn't work anymore. I was hoping that the bulb was damaged and a replacement would get it going again.
I mean ir's a simple lamp that is outside. Should be easy, right?
I have checked everything and found that the "electric eye" which turns it off during the day and on at dark is shorted. This means that the thing always thinks it's daylight. It can never turn on, until I replace this annnoying "silly cone diode" as the asshole General always says in that old movie, "War Games."
I have found that Lowe's has them for about three bucks.
No reason to toil, just drive back into town and fetch one.
But, really, the fucking wind? Gimme a breeak!
