Thanks Ken. This one has no light at all, just cycling rf noise. The 
fixture looks like the old style street light. I am guessing it has a 
screw in photo cell, so I may could unscrew the bulb and photocell. If I 
can avoid it, do not want to mess with their breakers. Im thinking maybe 
a fruit tray in hand when I ask :-). I have never met them other than a 
casual wave in the summer. Driveways are at opposite ends of each house.
