This falls in the same category as:
"I think there is a bit stuck in my PLC, can you just fix it?...... What do you mean it is going to cost me $XXXX to fix it?!?!"
Things like this seem easy to the uneducated.
Take it from someone that used to work on power lines, the cost is justified.
You may look at it as a light on a pole, but it is not to code. It was grandfathered until it needed replaced and now it must meet code.
If a light is too close to a tree, a wind storm can knock it off and send it crashing to the ground.
If it is too close to the power lines, they can short against the housing and send primary voltage into the secondary lines.
I don't tell my doctor how to perform surgery and I am not going to tell these Linemen how to do their job either!
