Default streetlamp objects bounding box

I would like to as whether it is possible to finetune a little bit the default streetlamp set. The bounding box in the editor is huge (approx 100x100 meter) for some reason. When you place several lamps along a route than it becomes very annoying because of the overlaping boxes. You have to click several times to find exactly the lamp you are trying to select. When you have a busy airport with hundreds of objects around it becomes almost impossible.

example: StreetLamp_Type1_Single

What I do is search for all "Streetlamp", make a group of them, and then turn selection of that group off and it works like a charm.

That is correct. I do this. But when I have to edit the streetlamp itself for example rotate it than it is a problem becuase you cycly through 10 streetlamps in the area until you find the one you want to edit.
