You'd think with a whole electrical department they could've been bothered to add a couple boxes; nice exposed 120V screws on the bottoms of those lampholders for anyone unlucky enough to brush against it.
A friend of mine is a town inspector, I'd like to see if he'd give me some red-tags; I could take them with me every time I have to make a trip to these places.

:brows: So...If I go there and pretend to touch.... then just start to quiver on the floor.. and scream... and act wicked screwed up...Take the ride in the Ambulance..get my girl (remember her) to pick me up after release...Call my lawyer..and continue to act weird.......
Ya'll may be paying me soon for all them lil' blue boxs.
:laughing: Yeah, they're LED. I'd get an A19 version if they had one that was anywhere near the lumens of a 75W lamp. All theirs were in the 25-50W range. Who the hell lights anything with a 25W bulb?

I was just poking around the home depot corporate site to see if I could find a link to their safety department. Figured I would send them Johns photo.
They had a mock setup (unenergized) that showed a subpanel, fed with a 4 wire SER feeder, but they had both the grounded and grounding conductors landed on the same bar, with the bond screw in the can. They had it on display for all the homeowners to see and copy. It took months for them to change it. I called their corporate office several times over it.

I'm sorry but I just can't laugh at this, as ridiculous as it may be. I really hope the guy who noticed got them to take it down. We need to be rather vigilant when it comes to stupidity.
Nah, I didn't bother telling anyone, because I figured nobody would give a damn.
I just unplugged them and tossed the extension cord behind a storage shelf.
