Different style of Chinese street light.
Added 2020-01-15 21:22:19 +0000 UTCIt's a while since I've looked at one of the Chinese street lights on eBay, so here's one with a different style to the others I've looked at.
It's got potential for personal projects with a bit of hacking, and represents very value for the parts.

The phone just did an update. Hopefully it's not randomly downgraded something. Time for a reboot.

Of course the same is true of the mounting screws and the mount hole itself. I guess it doesn't matter since these are essentially disposable but it sure seems wasteful not to make them as safe and durable as possible. We have grown to accept a culture of throwing things away, even large cast metal pieces. This is not a sustainable way of living and can't go on forever. One day we will have to learn to fix things again, and design things that can be fixed.

2020-01-16 00:39:28 +0000 UTCAs the hole is diameter 45mm it will accept a standard one and three quarter inch tube (44.45mm) quite nicely. You didn't say whether the earth wire could be secured better - quite important... Maybe a washer or two would allow the wire to be gripped. Looks quite neat from below, and any bird would be pleased with the ribs on top, providing plenty of grip for a nest building project - plus under floor heating. What's not to like?
