The three non working lights on the tall post have been replaced. The alignment of the fixtures leaves a bit to be desired as the base is lit like daylight while not enough light is cast into the water. Older technology fixtures had to be aimed where you wanted the light. Newer ones have internal reflectors that direct the light away from the direction of the lamp. I was surprised when I read that this type of lamp is to be mounted with the face nearly vertical. It has something to do with the bulbs needing to be nearly vertical to extend their life.

The base of the light post has sand accretion near the wall like I have never seen before. The sand buildup here is nearly four feet in the last few months.  Presently, the tide is very high. I can only imagine what kind of beach we will have when the tide drops back to normal.
