Hazard

The lighting fixtures could fall from their lamp posts due to a problem with the coupling system used to secure them. This poses a risk of injury for persons beneath the lighting fixtures.

Remedy

Persons responsible for maintaining outdoor lighting fixtures or streetlights should immediately cordon off the area underneath each lighting fixture and contact Beacon to receive free retrofit kits. Beacon will also reimburse labor costs up to $50 per lighting fixture.
