Walkway lighting along a Cypress Tanglewood greenbelt

Report a light out

A streetlight is out

Every streetlight in Tanglewood belongs to Southern California Edison — along the streets and throughout the greenbelts alike. Reporting one takes a minute, and Edison asks for a couple of details worth having ready first.

Report it to Southern California Edison

Edison owns and maintains the lighting throughout Tanglewood — the lights along the public streets and the lights across the greenbelts are all theirs. The Association does not repair them, so a report sent to the office only has to be passed along, which costs a few days.

What Edison will ask for

You can report it in a couple of minutes. Having these to hand makes it quicker, and makes it far more likely the right pole gets fixed:

  • The pole number — most poles carry a small metal tag with a number on it
  • The nearest street address
  • The closest cross street
  • What it is doing — fully out, flickering, or on during the day

A light on during the daytime counts too. A fixture stuck on in daylight is burning power around the clock and usually means a failed sensor. Edison wants to hear about those as well, and they are reported the same way.
Not a streetlight? Lighting attached to a building — a porch light, a garage light, a fixture on the Clubhouse or Cabana — is not Edison's. Those come to the Association, or to the homeowner if the fixture belongs to the home. Send a maintenance request and we will sort out which.
