Vandalism problems, need fixture ideas - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

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.

install video camera, get pics, get cops and tell them where the body was accidentally found

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.

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
