Beats the alternative of tripod ladder and telescopic tools. I've certainly used a couple of BT poles to similar effect.

I did an awkward reduction today on a Tibetan cherry in the pouring rain. I don't think it would have been possible without using the lamp post as a top anchor. Actually couldn't have asked for better. First time for everything 

But how did you manage a 2 rope system?

Off neighbouring lamp post 50 yds away, hell of a swing if your main anchor fails, but complies with the regs is what counts.
