    I am trying to find the switch of the exterior light post. The light bulbs have been replaced but the light is still off. Does anyone know where to find the switch?

    I live in the townhouse of Broadland South.

    Thanks a lot.

    Check your utility room where the furnace is.

    All exterior pole lights are controlled by a photo cell, not a wall switch. If you cannot find a tripped GFI, the photo cell may be bad. If you are handy you can replace it yourself....personally, I leave electrical work to the professionals! Several handymen and electricians advertise in the newsletter.
