Here's a shot that I mentioned yesterday about a AE 125 with it's door being taped to the mounting arm and with two wires flying out of the lume, the light looks a lot like a cobra before gulping down on its meal hence the title lol.
Here's the Bottom View:

apparently temporary fix.....I know sometimes they do that in big cities or dangerous areas....but often I see wires go through the slipfitter opening not LIKE THAT!! taping a door..open....but look in the bright side...they kept the door with the fixture instead of completely removing it!
That looks so tacky around here I have seen them drill holes in the sides of fixtures to put in temporary wires luckily I have only seen it done to OVXs.
Update: they closed up the cobraheads, but this setup is now out and the overhead wires are still there.

Yep, this one of the tackier wiring jobs I've seen done on streetlights here, normally here, they run the temp wires through the slipfitter opening like how Jace said. I guess they wanted the light fixed quickly since the intersection is somewhat busy even at night.
@Niall that's sound pretty sloppy too , can you maybe get a pic of it?
I have too but never taped OPEN! I've never seen a light with a glass lens taped up either; just the plastic lens lights get taped, probably becuase they don't want the weight of the refractor making the tape fail.
