Hey this is an street lamp at the same time it's a game board. But honestly I need some recommendation because it doesn't seem an street lamp. Help please!

Street lamps typically light the street ... not the sky above them :)
You need to make the light part pointing down or, at the very least, from the sides. This as you have it now points skyward. Also ... it's awfully bulky. I might suggest it go on a diet to slim down a bit.
And as I always say Google Images (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=street+lamps&gbv=2) for reference ...
Hey Joe, pretty creative. My suggestions are (Not knowing the theme obviously :P )
* Make it more like an old lamp post used in London back in the day.
* Then make it almost like a stained glass effect, this will give you the colors you want on top and the glass panels needed on the side to light the surrounding area.
* Put the pole on a diet like darth mentioned.
Alternatively just slim down the pole, keep the top but add glass panels on the sides where the lights can come out from.
