Safety
must always come first. However, I do not feel safe at all as I pass by our
street every night. It is all because none of the street
lamp posts in my neighborhood are working like it is suppose to. Our
neighborhood is in darkness for almost two weeks already. The issue has been
reported to the homeowners association the first night our neighborhood did not
have any lighting. It is like a deja vu when the kids in our neighborhood
accidentally hit one of the street
lamp posts while playing ball several months ago. One of our neighbors at
that time proposed vapor tight lighting fixtures as these types of lighting
fixture are protected from breakage and other extreme condition.

But
this time the lamps were stolen. It may sound impossible that the lamps of the
128 inched tall street
lamp posts were stolen but it happened. The officers could have agreed on
the suggestion to change the lamps. However, the officers of our homeowners
association decided that the Double Arm Vintage Design Lamp Post with Clear Top
is still a better option. These Double Arm Vintage Design Lamp Post with Clear
Top lighting fixtures have been lighting our paths since time I can remember.
These lamps provide not only better illumination and protection in our street
but they also add up to our beautiful neighborhood as well.

However,
after all the lamps were stolen, the homeowners association are considering to
change the all the outdoor lamp posts. The architect suggested to use the
Powder Coated Cast Aluminum 3-Lamp Pagoda Style Post Light. This decorative
outdoor lamp post also provide beauty and illumination but compared to the
Double Arm Vintage Design Lamp Post with Clear this outdoor lamp post looks
better and three times safe from thievery since it is was made from cast
aluminum. But right now, it does not matter what type of lighting is installed
in our streets. Any type of lighting fixtures will do just as long as our
streets lights again. Just like an infamous line goes, it is better to light
just one little candle than to stumble in the dark.
