Plug this into the receptacle on the post lamp, cover the electric eye with black tape, and when the post light turns on press the test button. Both the light and the receptacle should turn off. Then your mission (should you decide to accept it) will be to fine the GFCI breaker or receptacle that tripped.

Not the case. Depending on where in The Villages you live, some post lights are not GFCI protected.
This is completely separate from adding a receptacle to the pole.
