Several questions

[tonype]

1. Anyone see the type of fitting at the outside lamp post? It lookes more like something used in a pneumatic system.

2. Use of a junction box plate to cover unused breaker slots in an old panel?

3. Outdoor string of lights - a taut metal cable was used for support, with chain to a wood fence. Is this legit?

4. 1000's of lights strung on a tree and branches - are there any concerns with respect to damage as the tree grows?

Looks to me like a comglomeration of electrical fittings. Truth be told probably a mismath but borderline legal IMHO

Ugly.. however, passes in this area

a lot of that is questionable. Support, connections, cord...

The lights are wrapped around like the colors on a barber shop pole - the windngs extend way up into the tree and the major branches.

picture 3 I think they were confused when they overheard some electrician talking about Branch Circuits.

In picture #4 it was hard to see at first, but the light strings around the tree are permitted by 410.16(H). However, the overhead conductors may not be supported by the trees.
