asparagus light fixture 1

[KatieTX]

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?

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.

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 I guess he had a field visit with someone, and that guy was who came up with "asparagus". Or something.
