So now looking for “villages compliant” light pole vendors and recommendations of local businesses that could do the installation. I’m not a diy person, so appreciate any recommendations on how to have it done correctly (don’t want to run afoul of the ARC) and reasonably quickly. Thanks for your help.
I’ve replaced half a dozen of them here in The Villages. It’s a straightforward project, but if you aren’t interested in doing it yourself, any electrician can handle it. Pikes, Lenhart, etc. Electric Supply (Wildwood) carry’s them, as does Home Depot and Lowe’s. If you have a name or address number sign (which you more than likely do) you’ll want one with a “ladder rest”, as that’s what the horizontal bar is called. While you’re at it, install a new dusk to dawn sensor as well.
