What the heck temporary light hackjob

Big construction...


Temporary street light


The original street light was removed for construction and this temporary street light is free standing on a giant cement pod


It's electrical wire is routed through tree branches, zip tied to one of them. wtf

Then to the neck of another street light before connecting to a power source.

This looks like a hack to me, even for a temporary one....

Looks legal, safe, and well-done for a temporary light. Some people are just crybabies. If they didnt' temp in some street lighting, you'd be whining that the street is dark at night.
