Vandalism Problems, Need Fixture Ideas


I have a customer with a vandalism problem. The entrance to the neighborhood has 2 brick columns on each side, with a flood light on the front and back of each column shinning up. Someone keeps kicking the fixtures breaking the half inch nipple off and there goes the lights. I was thinking about using well lights but having problem getting some with adjustable eyes that are not a fortune. Also thought about finding a steel great to go around some sort of light and protect it. Anyone else have ideas of where to get anything to help. Thanks.

Thanks for the Ideas, But I found a good deal on 4 adjustable well lights with metal protection grates on front. Think that's going to be the ticket.

Re: Vandalism Problems, Need Fixture Ideas


It just so happens that I have a similar problem. We put in a landscape light for a flagpole light at a neighborhood park. Someone has taken exception to it and just has to vandalize it. We have 12volt wire there now and I would rather not have to dig it up to replace it. Do those well lights throw a beam tall enough to illuminate a flag 20' up there? I see some are adjustable. If I find a good one we'll have to set it in concrete, build a cage around it and have a tamper resistant lens also. Thanks
