Looking closely, I make out a 10 on the label. It's a 100W HPS fixture.

I've seen regular "quad" telephone wire used for power before, but this is a first.
CAT3 must offer a vast improvement at 50/60Hz!

what was wrong with the original street light? Exactly!, Why not just reconnect the cut wires instead of cobbling together an unsafe, nasty looking think like this?. Some people's thinking is just really wack.

HPS fixtures such as this can make all kinds of buzzing sounds esp when the capacitor goes out in them. The camper probably got tired of being kept up at night by the noise.
Maybe?
I'm just glad they actually used a couple of scotch locks instead of a few wraps of 'Alabama chrome'...aka duck tape! j/k

That is just classic.
All that work and you could either reconnect the original light or go buy the $25 light at the home center.
One of the finest examples of "old-man engineering", which is making do with wnatever you have lying around.

I think some serious narcotics or amphetamines may be the reason for this.
