What an Idiot, everyone knows you need Cat 5E for HID lights.

Is that an old satellite dish?

Looks like it! Also appears to have been painted silver to redirect light. From what I see, It looks like a newer Regent 175W Mercury Vapor head jerryrigged into an old DirecTV dish. I also like how it's tied to the pole with rope! Let the sun get to that for a few months. I sure don't wanna be standing under it when it comes down.

I've said it before, and I'll say it for years to come:

Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

That is most definitely a satellite dish. You need RG6 for that.

Should have used Cat6 for maximum electrical transfer or if he later wanted to put in a Metal Halide Fixture. I'm just kidding what was wrong with the original street light?
Theres always enough room in the junction box.You just need a bigger hammer

Is that string UL Listed for support of a luminaire?
I can't see the label from the angle of the photograph.

Copper is amazing stuff. It must have some built in CYA factor that scientists haven't figured out yet. How this hasn't failed is amazing.
Is anything in the photo listed for use for this application? Once again article 110 takes a beating. If DIYer's would just follow 110 they'd win half the battle.

Wow......it's had to even imagine the thought process that went into creating this abortion.
A brand new mercury vapor "barn light" is only $24 at HD/Lowes etc. And it even comes with a nice acrylic lens!
And the cobra head, assuming it's HPS (I can't make out number on the label but it looks orange) is probably twice as bright as that thing.
