Anyone with the right key and a little knowledge can use a lampost

I wonder what current you can pull from one of those? The wiring in it
might not be up to much, but its probably got a decent sized feeder
under it!

100A at a guess.

The last exposed lampost I saw [1] was just tapped into one of the phases in
the street into a 16A MCB for the actual lamp.


[1] Thanks to a female driver in a BMW on 1 way street doing a 3 point turn.
The damage knocked out one of the phases at the hotel I was working in.
