Lamp post electric eye
Can anyone tell me exactly what electric eye to get at Lowes to replace the one in the front lamp post. Thank you

OP, make sure you TURN OFF THE POWER to the lamp post at the circuit breaker panel, before you do anything!

I find it shocking people don't turn off the power before working on electric circuits. (Sorry, bad dad joke).

Wish I had read this thread first. Just paid Galaxy Home Solutions Electric $175 to replace the solar lens (electric eye). I thought the problem was a short in the wiring under the landscaping. Now I can’t get Galaxy to send me a receipt.

Photocells fail to the positive...meaning they let power flow through 24/7. The easy fix is to buy a bulb with a photocell built in and forget messing with the accessory photocell that has failed. Just screw in the new bulb and you're in business. About $6 at big box stores.

Ace is the place. Especially in Wildwood they are great

Status Quo or Upgrade
There are two different ones typically available at Lowe's or Ace Hardware. Two-year vs ten-year warranty with a difference of around $10.

Speaking of lampposts, I found out that some of my neighbors have an electrical outlet on the pole. It would be wonderful especially during the holiday season. Unfortunately mine isn’t one of them. Just wondering why some houses have them and some don’t?

Ace Hardware seems to have everything connected to a Village house othere then siding and the like, but all the small items.

As long as it fits(physically) into the hole, and has 3 wires, just about anyone will work.
