Smashed Blaster

On the side of a building facing an alley. Some truck must have hit it, driving to close. Or maybe wanted to make it a tanning light. It is a dayburner because the PC got painted.

honestly, I'd take the PC out if I were you and then tell somebody about this!!

i think niall means STEAL the light. Laughing
streetlight98   [Dec 04, 2011 at 09:16 PM]
I think so too, but have fun getting fried. Razz Laughing

Not an issue if you use insulated tools, which you always should be using when doing electrical work...
joe_347V   [Dec 04, 2011 at 11:32 PM]
Yeah but would you really want a $50 blaster light when you can grab something [ahem] better. Laughing
gailgrove   [Dec 04, 2011 at 11:34 PM]
I didn't say I would actually do it, but I do agree with taking the PC out, at least then you could say you where solving a public safety issue.
streetlight98   [Dec 04, 2011 at 11:52 PM]
And you'll have a shorting cap for your lights! Razz Laughing
joe_347V   [Dec 05, 2011 at 01:21 AM]
You should pull the lamp after you pull the PC too. Razz
streetlight98   [Dec 05, 2011 at 01:35 AM]
All that's left is the arc tube though. Shocked Razz
joe_347V   [Dec 05, 2011 at 01:38 AM]
Well you can run them Form109 style. Laughing

If the live circuit WERE to come into contact with the fence, then it would become an electric fence! Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

The current would probably go to ground, as most ballasts are HX or CWA's, which have no isolation.
streetlight98   [Jun 04, 2012 at 10:07 PM]
Are all of the metal parts inside the lamp envelope live when the lamp is lit?
rlshieldjr   [Sep 30, 2012 at 11:52 PM]
This has been replaced with a 65w CFL type blaster, in the same placed, waiting for the the next truck to smash it Cool
streetlight98   [Oct 01, 2012 at 01:41 AM]
can you get a pic of the replacement? i'm curious as to what this set up SHOULD have looked like lol. I see where it was mounted from the holes in the building though...
rjluna2   [Oct 28, 2012 at 07:01 PM]
I wonder how long would it last with CFL bulb Razz
streetlight98   [Oct 28, 2012 at 07:05 PM]
In a way, I'm rooting for the truck driver to "modify" the CFL light. Laughing
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Sep 07, 2014 at 01:20 AM]
The above situation is the one time it's okay and ENCOURAGED to break out the BB gun! Laughing
streetlight98   [Sep 07, 2014 at 02:20 AM]
it looks like the reason it's dayburning is because they spraypainted the building and they got the light a little bit and the PC too.
