The Black Fixtures are no longer made... That isn't a problem because the original fixtures were very well made and can be repainted. But, the problem is the plastic hang-down dome that houses the bulb. These domes are not holding up and replacements can’t be readily bought. If your plastic dome is good you can keep using it.

As for replacing the entire fixture, no match could be found and nothing is nearly as good as what we have. To solve the failing domes we found an interesting LED bulb that seems be a good resolution of the problem and doesn't need the plastic dome. The LED bulb is ± $8 at Home Depot and does a great job of lighting the area and looks good. We have tested these to see how they hold up, no problems. They give the equivalent light of a 75w bulb as a 16w LED. (covenant requirement)

A note about the fixtures: They were made of heavy cast aluminum in Italy. This is a quality of construction you won't find today. We feel it is well worth trying to save these fixtures by cleaning up and repainting, a minor expense for our homeowners.

Also, please don't forget you are required to maintain your street light and post.

  The post design must be the same, the fixture must be the same and the bulb must be 75 watt or equivalent. The bulb must be on from dusk to dawn.

  This is a covenant requirement. Without any other street lights throughout Sugarhill, your front yard light keeps the streets from becoming dark and dangerous.

We are serious about enforcing this covenant because it is directly linked to the safety of people on the streets at night.
