Was not suggesting you do it. just commenting that there is a door that opens to the electrical connections. If people are stupid enough to open it lets hope they know what they are doing!

Al if you get that drone idea to work I'd be interested in trying it myself. I've been looking for a reason to buy one. Take some photos. How would you get the 'drape' down (maybe a fishing line attached to it). Sadly it would be a noticable "mod" so someone would likely complain eventually.

Now if I could get a drone to spray paint it that could be a one time solution.

Here is a great video on graffiti drones!

The design has merit, even to extending the nozzle to escape the downdraft from the rotors. It could be done fairly quietly at night when people are asleep and no one would know who did it if they were watching.

Hi Glen the drone that I have is only a cheap $49 from kmart I brought to practice flying in saying this it is quiet responsive unless you get a breeze ,you can buy whats called a rescue pack that has a rope with a grappling hook on the end which you can open and close thought this might work ,small weight in the cloth to hold it over the lamp,when I get better at handling the drone I will upgrade to one of the DJImodels they are awesome ,thanks for the video link
