If you are trying to grab an internet signal from 500' away, you can grab it with a parabolic dish at your base as long as you have clear line of sight.
If you are trying to light a light bulb on the internet pole, then that is a different story.
So this is to actually get the internet signal to the actual house. It's not for extending wifi range. This is a ground based wireless internet provider. Only thing we have out here other than satellite, which is terrible around here.
So they are installing whatever the signal bouncer/amplifier thing is....but it needs electric.
Maybe I was foolish to think I can just throw a regular outdoor 120v plug in line for Christmas lights. But those, or even a little dusk til dawn light would be LED....and I believe pretty low draw...I don't have aspirations of running a mercury light or air compressor...
