We are a Cisco shop as well, with outdoor 1552E APs on various light poles. Does not look bad at all. AP is powered with 85W PoE injector. Data runs over fiber. Only 5 of these APs around campus are wired in as root APs, the rest are mesh clients.
I know its not what you are asking, but Cisco does have a solid outdoor solution that works quite well for us.
