[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1111759, member: 14713"] Paying $8.60 + tax per month for 100 watt HPS light here. My pet peeve is that there was always our own yardlight on our own switch on the meter pole for 60+ years since the beginning of REA in 1950. I replaced the original fixture using a 300 watt incandescent bulb with a 175 watt mercury vapor light about 20 years ago. The electric co-op guys looked the other way until they had to replace my meter pole a couple years ago. Has not been 'politically correct" to have privately owned wiring and light on the co-op meter pole for some time. So to have a yard light I had to give in and let them put their own light on their own pole. The only other option would have been to let the co-op guys set the used pole out in the yard and run my wire to a light on it. I did not want an extra pole as just another obstacle in the yard. So now I have a yardlight 7 nights a week/365 nights per year whether light is necessary or not. [/QUOTE]
