GE Form 79 merc-i-fied
One of the few GE gumballs with an intact glass refractor saved from a decrepit farm, I cleaned up this fixture, installed a ballast kit and mounted it in the back corner of my home. This is the only streetlight in my collection that is mounted outside.

I have a 50W HPS light for my backyard but It's pretty much only out there to keep the pole occupied since I don't use it in the winter. The light on my pole outside plugs in so it's only used when the backyard is in use and with have a foot of rock solid slush and three inches of snow on top of that, the backyard isn't in use lol... Once the summer comes though I plan to install a 175W MV after I install a new-and-improved pole from EMT conduit instead of a wood fence post...
