Hi Guys, I'm a guy that likes lamp posts because they really light up an area. I have a lamp post that the bulb keeps blowing out (I use normal 100 watt bulbs). Recently I took the top off and found the copper receptacle to be badly corroded. So I went to the electrical house where the electricians go and got the exact new piece I needed.....wired it up nice nice....its still blowing out after a few days.
The wiring is older outside wiring from the panel...along side of house...then underground to the lamp post.
Any thoughts? Should I replace the wire??? (easy job but time consuming)
Thanks.
ps I'm a very good amateur electrician if that matters. I also have a great electrician but he knows I like to save money I only bring him in on bigger things or any time i have to get into the panel.
