From our latest U.K. member, TrimixLeccy: The first is of an 'above ground repair' along side a main road [actually on the central reservation], the second and third are the lamp column to which the 'repair' is directed at. To my knowledge it has been like this for at least 2 years! And yes, it is live and the lights work. Mod. note: "Central reservation" = median strip.

As far as I can ascertain a lighting column was removed and the cable extended as per pic1. This cable then connects to the column and then goes back down inside the column and onto the next fixture. I will not reveal the location yet so that users can try to guess the locale.

Is this somewhere in the Middle East? There's some palms and script on the awning in the background.

The awning is in the middle picture, visible (with some tweaking) just to the upper right of the access cover, below the two lights. It does look like Arabic.

Guess #1. Birmingham, England. Off the M6. I can't see an awning or any arabic, but if there is, it's probably the local Balti Hut!
Wood work but can't!

Ok, that explains a lot... I couldn't really judge the diameter of the pole from the picture, so it was hard to guess. Explains why the wires inside the light looks so small though

This lamp column has fascinated me for about 2 years [yes, i know I need to get out more!!] Apart from no visible fuses it also has no isolation at ground level, I think the earthing is discontinuous and the 2 lamp heads are on different phases. Oh, I forgot to mention that this 'median strip' also doubles as a public footpath!!! I will be back there in a few weeks; camera at the ready
