Two comments:
1. I know Amazon is out of stock on the replacement lights. What you
can do in that case is go to google.com and search for Portfolio
23.43-in H Aged Brass Outdoor Wall Light. I found:
http://www.lightingsupplieswarehouse.com/unit/9641988/ Shop around and
find the best price.
2. Hanging dead carcasses from a light is considered placing a "thing"
on the exterior of a building. Without Board approval, 13 (b) prohibits
this.

Here is the common elements vs limited common elements lesson for
today...
Common elements - This is land and amenities in our condominium that all
of us own as tenants in common with undivided interest. If you own a 1
bedroom unit, your share is 1.36% and if you own a 2 bedroom unit, your
share is 2.13%. Your condo dues are calculated based on this
percentage. You have a right to use all common elements, as long as
your use does not infringe upon the rights of the other owners.
Examples: Fences surrounding our condominium complex, gate entry
systems, retaining walls, exterior building walls and roof, trash
compactor, landscaping areas (i.e. grass not fenced in), mail area,
fitness facility, swimming pool, club house, pool furniture, other
furniture and fixtures on common elements, and our neighborhood street.
Limited common elements - This is land and amenities outside the walls
of a unit reserved specifically for the use of the owner of that unit.
Examples: Gates serving units along Highland and Jackson, driveways
leading to garages (if a driveway serves two units, then the boundary
between units is its centerline), decks in the 600, 700, and 800
buildings, enclosed yard areas, our air conditioning pads and equipment,
utility meters that serve a specific unit, and our mailbox slot in the
mail area.
Questions and answers:
Is the landscaping in front of my unit (along the neighborhood street) a
limited common element? No, it is a common element, unless it is fenced
in and is specifically designated as a limited common element according
to "Declaration of Condominium for The Highland, A Condominium." (5)
May my dog poop on the grass in front of units, even if I clean it up?
Pets are NOT allowed on any of the amenity areas, except for the
designated dog walk area. Note: The Board needs to make it more clear
which areas are designated for dog walking. Maybe the areas with the
little green dog signs? Obviously, the street should be a dog walking
area, or owners would need to physically carry their dogs for a
distance. (14 (e))
May I have a trash can near my front door or driveway? No. (14 (m))
May I place trash next to my front door and take it to the dumpster
later? No. (14 (m))
May I leave my garage door open? No. (14 (p))
May I park my car in a random driveway or have a party on any deck? No,
these are limited common elements which are reserved for the use of
their respective owners. If you obtain permission from that owner, then
you may use their limited common elements. (14 (f))
May I change my outdoor lighting fixture and door knobs? The Board has
published the approved replacement lighting fixture:
https://www.amazon.com/Portfolio-23-43-Brass-Outdoor-Light/dp/B00XZ9BYF8
Door knobs can be replaced if they appear similar to the existing ones.
Maintenance of these items are the responsibilities of homeowners. (13
(d) & 17(a))
Can I install a satellite dish on the roof, wall, or non-fenced in
landscaped area? No, these are all common elements. By installing a
satellite dish on a common element, you would be infringing on the
rights of other owners. (13 (b) & (14 (e) & 14(r)) You may install a
satellite dish on your deck, since that is property controlled
exclusively by its owner. (FCC OTARD rules)

I think this is where there may be some confusion. After reading the

Per the bylaws:
The limited common elements include:
* Any sidewalk or entry gate serving one or more but less than all
portion of the air conditioning or heating system exclusively serving a
* The sidewalk serving only one unit
* The driveway providing entry to the garage of each unit
* Any desk attach to and serving only one unit
* any enclosed yard area as shown on the Survey or Floors plans
* The portion of Common Elements on which there is located any
particular Unit or Units
located within the boundaries of a Unit. The Common Elements include,
* Any utility meter which serves only one unit
* Each unit is assigned one mailbox or mail slot
The Common elements consist of all portions of the Condominium not
without limitation, certain utilities, fences, entry features, paving,
walls, retaining walls and exterior walls of the building, trash
compactor,
awnings, landscape areas, mail area, fitness facility, swimming pool,
clubhouse, limited access fated entry system, and all personalty,
furniture
