asparagus light fixture

asparagus light fixture

asparagus light fixture

(OP)
Has anyone heard of an asparagus-head or asparagus-top light fixture?  Supposedly it's a light fixture for a street light and it looks like a stalk of asparagus.  I can find street lights that look (to me) somewhat like asparagus, but nothing that's actually called an asparagus-head or asparagus-top fixture.  Does anyone have a link?

RE: asparagus light fixture

There are asparagus lamp tops with asparagus-like fins that are used to diffuse light for a certain ambiance, but I have not seen them used as street lights.

Perhaps someone at the City of Stockton (California) Public Works Department has done research on this.  Stockton is a major producer of asparagus in California and they hold an "Asparagus Festival" every year.

RE: asparagus light fixture

Ask the guy that spec'ed them where to get them? Or does he supply them. We ran into a deal once where the architect spec'ed a light that he designed and sold. Maybe something that looks like a pineapple will work?

I could not find anything at all (except that lamp PELS linked to), so I finally admitted defeat and sent the engineer a link to a bunch of decorative outside lights and asked if what he wanted was similar to any of them.  He sent me back a couple of examples of ACORN streetlights.  If he had told me ACORN in the first place instead of ASPARAGUS, I could've found those blllttt  I guess he had a field visit with someone, and that guy was who came up with "asparagus".  Or something.
