    No idea why it was filled. Maybe to stop ants, etc., making a nest inside?

With outdoor bulkhead lights...

    This light looked OK, but with low IR on the supply. Although I did notice an odd dribble of water on the outside. So I started to investigate and found that the installer had filled the base with expanding foam. Causing the whole post to fill with water. Including the junction box half...

    Electrical test connectors.

    Indeed. I have a collection of them stuck to the side of my filing cabinet. One lives in the van for finding joists and studs (by attraction to the screws or nails).
