I don't think it was ever meant to, it is to stop rocks.

A rock could still get to it. It's just cheesy wires. A vandal sheild can actually make crooks more determined to break it.

nicely made wireguard....and of course its not going to stop a bullet!

Why the heck do people shoot streetlights? Seriously, my OV-25 (other one) has bullet holes in it (two of them) and it penetrated the reflector AND the housing!

I don't get why people do it.

who know's what their reasoning is...probably the same people that shoot holes in road signs.

maybe it's because criminals like it dark?

That or it's teenagers trying to make a "joke". It seems everything is a "joke".

There are drug dealers who sell drugs in the dark to prevent from getting caught....so that's one of the reasons they do this.

That was a waste of time to put a guard like that on this light.

Thats Nothing, We Have These Installed on fixtures in downtown Holyoke.

The way I see it, if someone wants to shoot out a street light, they will find a way to do so. Vandal sheilds only make them want to shoot it out more becuase that person is determined to prove that you can't stop him (or her).

i have not seen one get shot out yet here in the city.

It does happen in Baltimore City and some other areas.

I haven't see any shot out in New Kensington or Arnold PA and those are really bad areas.

I've haven't any shot out lights in the Toronto area, even in the sketchier neighbourhoods.

I've never seen lights shot out either. Nor have i seen lights with wire guards or vandal shields around here.

By the way the top you see is a General Electric shorting cap!

Hey Jace I have a question, does GE still make photocells?

I think they're made by ALR now.

I've gone to a few lights that have been shot out in Springfield. They are usually on the side streets.

Here its Detroit that has some shot out, mostly MV there and even some old old teardrops
the light in this pictures also appers to have wires in through the slipfiter
