It's a little too dark and the texture is blurry. I guess it could work if it's night outside

. One thing that looks out of place is the proportion, I would make it taller, or thinner. Try and make the glass transparent and make a light bulb inside, it will look a lot cooler. The bottom area is a little too bright and far from the light source, I could darken it a little to fit better with the rest.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I've updated my first post with a new version:

- Made the model thinner. It's strange, I never saw anything wrong with the proportions but now that I've followed you suggestion it looks a lot better.

- added a lightbulb and made the glass tranculent.

Yep, looks a lot better but I would make it a little taller... and I think you should replace the white light with a worm yellow... It makes it more... worm

Hope you don't mind the paintover.

Not exactly like that... I didn't have a lot of time to play with the saturation but you get the idea... You can also add some dirt on the glass... it's always a nice touch, since the streetlight doesn't really look new.
Here's a better ref of what I was trying to say.

Other then that, I like it. The bottom part is a lot better. The specular is subtle and nice

Finally time for an update!

had alot of trouble with getting it right. Anway, the changes I've made:

- made the lamp part yellowish (which you can't see all that well on the white background of this forum)

- Added some dirt

- made the model a little bit taller

- improved some small things here and there.

Just want to thank Andrei for his great suggestions! Was fun to see the model improve
