What does the sticker say?

[ARW]

Spotted it whilst on the way to the pub/beach/takeaway.

Answers on a postcard from Filey preferred but not required.

This lamp to be illuminated during the hours of daylight only.

[Adrian Caspersz]

Bottom sentence is something like, "Please remove this label on installation"

[Adrian Caspersz]

"on completion of installation...."

I thought it said you need a better camera to read this.

If you can read this you should be wearing eye protection

If you can't read this you should have worn eye protection

Do not use ladder for lamp replacement access.

That would be even dafter than this one I saw:

Logic leads me to think it says, "The cross-bar is for ornamental purposes and pigeons only and must not be used as a ladder support"

"If you stop and take a photograph of this sticker, you really do need to get a life"

I thought I had just taken out enough detail on the photo to stop people reading it (well done Adrian)

Nothing wrong with the camera thank you Mr Dennis "Bailey"

"Do not throw stones at this notice"

[Andy Burns]

Heh, I checked the upload history of the Wiki to check if you'd already uploaded the answer :-)

"This sticker is intentionally blank"

[Johnny B Good]

That was my initial thought too but, after checking the image properties and the Fuji FinePix JV500 Andy had used, I decided that a better photographer would have saved any need for 'guessing games'.

The shot was taken at its wide angle setting (6.8mm) rather than at its zoom setting (20.4mm) which would have captured enough detail to make the print readable.

I'm guessing Adam didn't notice the sticker until it was too late to take a zoomed in shot of the lamp. A good photographer would have noticed and took the extra 'detail shot' 'just for the record'.

You could read the sticker on the non zoomed in photo if you have access to the 5Mb image.

I could not read the sticker when stood on the ground.

Notice to the plumber. Please remove this sticker from the High Level Cistern using soap and water.
