I had an epiphany the other day regarding a way to get up to the pole light out front to remove the fixture from the pole.

I had planned to rent one of the electric bucket lifts from Homeless Depot but then I remembered that Nelson had some sections of scafolding although I didn't know if he still had them so I rang him up. Not only did he still have them but he graciously loaded two sections into his truck and delivered them, too.

We set them up and with two 2x12's to stand on, it was the perfect height. THEN we or rather Nelson was able to muscle the darn hood off the pole and man was I happy.

I had also planned to send this fixture and two of the single LED soffit fixtures that are also inop back to the manufacturer to have them rejuvenated. But I decided to see if the "LED Driver" aka "ballasts" were available on the Web and sure enough, Kamazonski had the smaller of the two so I ordered one to test but there really are only the LED element and the ballast inside the fixture and I don't think the LED's are the problem so we'll see.
