Is that box associated with the light?

Looks like a remote ballast but there could have been another light on the pole once that this was powering. Does not look like a contactor but you might check out the nameplate and see what it reads.

Going down tomorrow ,I’ll see the box and get a pic of the slipfitter.

The "box" might have a good ballast or relay inside. You sure they are both disconnected from any overheard or underground electric power source?

Yes the overheads are dangling down not connected to any other pole, there is no wires coming out of the ground.

Be safe and make sure the pole is not rotten at the ground.

Ok, I’ll give it a self inspection, that pole was probably disconnected for a reason.

Use a hammer and tap it hard all the way around the base.

What would it sound like if it wasn’t safe?

Easiest way to describe, tap the pole about three feet up and then tap the pole hard at ground level. If you get a dull "thump" at ground level, watch out. But you be the judge if it is rotten or not.

BTW Have someone with you and if you have another ladder, you might lean it against the pole on the opposite side that you are climbing to counter the pressure on your side. Just a suggestion.

Just use your own judgement on that. IMO

Could this be a 101SA?

Have a clear sky pic here.

Looks like the u-bolt on the slipfitter is facing down down. You cannot get a better side view?

No the trees get in the way I’ll take a pic when I get it down.

Is it incandescent? Hope you can save this!

It’s probably MV but I’m going to make it Incandescent.

Cool

It's going to disappear if you don't put the speedo on the moveo.

Hopefully you can get it down before that!

It’s in the woods out of sight, but I will get it.
