So I'm driving home the other night and just happened to look up as I was driving in my neighborhood and thought wow those street lights are awfully red! Gee I wonder what bulbs they use in there, they must be bright to light up a street. So when I got home, I used my grim reaper costume from 8th grade to ninja myself in all black and snuck through the neighborhood via backyards and shimmied up a pole and got the bulb! To my delight it's a 400 hps! Perfect. So far I've shimmied up and got 8 more from the neighborhood and surrounding area. I've completely thought it through and it's the perfect plan. I mean who is going to look up at a street light at night? Nobody! And the county or whoever will just think it's burnt out! And when they go to change it, they'll just think gee, that's strange, the bulb is missing. It's foolproof. I'm a genius. I still have to think of how to use all 8 bulbs in my awesome grow spot under the bathroom sink but it'll be badass.
 
lol, i've been sitting out on the porch late at night, usually in the 3 am hour, smoking a cig, just enjoying the peace and quiet, and i've been doing the same thing, looking up at the street light and thinking how they look awfully red, not climbing up and stealing them.. the one 2 lights up is definitely an hps, and the one right across the street seems to be more of white light, probably a mh, and the one a few more down the street is more red again..
maybe you can come over neo and i'll help you shimmy up the pole.. the street pole, not mine..
 
so, I am driving home after work. I run into the frkin truck parked off of the side of the road. someone took the light bulb from the street lamp. the cops took my car, my old lady left, my plants all died and my dog ran off with the bitch next door. Thanks Obama!

Too much work. Plus, once you bring them home you have to pay for them. I just hung pots under each one by chains. I did it for as long as my hose would reach. Plus, it creates a better ambience in the hood. If I can get the contract for making the city more green next year, they will pay me.
 
As a professional you will need to nick one of these to keep them cool.

If you are concerned about noise one of these can be found at Radio Shack. They are cheap if you use a five finger discount.

Be very careful. The whitish one could be a mercury vapor bulb. Not only does their spectrum excel at killing plants, the bulbs radiate mercury that gets all caught up in the bud and can't be flushed out. Mercury-irradiated weed is a tragedy and leads to herms and mainies.
