I stand corrected, thank you, as I have not helped any villagers in older sections. I agree with your comments about the current code requirements. As for the prior comment about screwing in an adapter into the lamp socket, there are so many things wrong with doing this. First, the adapter has only 2 prong and NO GROUND, second the lamp is typically only energized when the sun is down, third, the lamp post sensor is NOT rated for motor type loads. Please do not do this.
