Anytime I climb a ladder that is against something round, utility pole, up a tree to cut limbs etc. I always take a ratchet strap up with me and secure the ladder to the pole/tree. It works great to stabilize the whole thing so you can work freely without having to hold the ladder from sliding around on the surface.

Future reference, use the rope that raises the ladder, wrap it around the pole then tie to your rungs making sure its parallel to the ground. Thatll keep the ladder in place. (I used to be a cable tech and thats how we did it)

Funny how strange all the electrical components seem to me, being all used to only seeing the stuff used in Norway/Scandinavia. I also work with automation. (In industry and in HVAC systems) I like how you spesify that you're NOT at electrition. There are alot of people who dont know what automation even is. Although it's almost everywhere these days.

@hoberghacienda22674 жыл бұрын
New to your channel. Love it! One suggestion... You might think about putting a #6 solid copper ground wire up to the light. It can be just stapled to the pole and terminated on one of the lag screws mounting the light. Drive an 8ft ground rod at the base of the pole and clamp the wire to it. I have installed th is kind of light for years and find they are hit by lightning fairly often. The ground wire can save you a lot of ruined electrical appliances as it can bleed off most lightning strikes. May never happen, but better safe than sorry! have a great day!

I think that light is a bit dim for the application, also it's pointing in the wrong direction, if this was my place i would put a LED floodlight, facing the direction of the equipment, I'd have that light controlled by a switch on the pole, and I'd keep that other light where it is, on a "dusk till dawn" auto switch, to give lighting to the general area. As an electrician I've designed lighting solutions for many farms and industrial properties, good luck, I like what you are doing to your place. I wish you all the best.
