Obviously, it would depend on the exact model. But what I know is that the city of Detroit spent $3,900,000 on 25,000 Leotek LED streetlights, which comes out to $156 per streetlight. But that is on a bulk purchase. Although you could expect most models to cost anywhere from $150-$300 when bought individually.

This is the most similar I could find to the configuration you want. https://ebay.us/m/hnCzbj

I had a bit of an interest in Chernobyl as a kid. I would still like to go there some day. if you look in some of the rivers around the area there is sunken ships.

Curious If any of you have ordered LED street lights from electrical distributors or online, and how much they cost you? I was kinda curious how much a Leotek GC2-96N-MV-WW-5-GY-1050-FDC or GC2-96N-MV-22K-5-GY-1050-FDC. would cost. As these are pretty nice in the installations I have seen around. by far the least glary and most pleasant light colors. If it comes down to it I will go physically retrieve a price estimate from the local distributor but I am curious of your experiences.

My house has receptacles for Christmas lights up under the gable ends controlled by a timer.  My goal is to run colored icicle lights up and down the gable ends.  The roof of the covered porch would be framed with clear C9 bulbs.  Additionally, I'd love to wrap a spruce tree in colored C9s.

I currently have Celebrations Professional LED strings strung along the gable ends.  At the time I put them up, I could only find LED icicle strings in short lengths.  I finally found their Classic icicle strings in 20-foot lengths.  The weather hasn't been good for hanging outdoor Christmas lights, so it will probably have to wait until Summer to get done.  I did find a 50-foot string that uses actual C9 bulbs, and it came with clear LEDs.  I was able to get that hung up, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.  Only issue is the C9 string has a polarized plug while the pass-through outlet on the gable string is not polarized, so I had to use another extension cord to power the C9s.  I'll probably put in a dedicated outlet for them, possibly using them as patio lights in the off season.

Still using the S20FE I commented earlier when I got the phone new. Been thinking about upgrading from time to time but the battery still lasts decently long and I like having a lot of local store on my phone so I'm not a fan of how most phone manufacturers eliminated microSD slots on their flagship phones...Interestingly some mid range phones still have it.

I constantly switch between apple and samsung. First I had a Samsung s3,  small but worked well. Then I upgraded to an iphone 6s for bigger screen size. Then I started using iphone XS for even bigger screen size. But I wanted a phone with better camera quality, so I started using a samsung S21 ultra. And now I have an Samsung S24 ultra (the one with the pen) as I like to doodle. I also have the iphone 13 pro max but it's a little too heavy for daily use.


The funny thing is on smasungs the way the battery dies is unpredictable. On some phones it will stay strong between 5% to 1%, but on other phones the battery works fine above 5%, but then drops down by the second below that. On iphones it is predictable, it just slowly loses overall capacity.


Current status of thevphones: the s3 went missing/got stolen, the iphone 6 works but 40 second battery life :DeAtH: , the iphone XS was given to someone who needed a phone, the iphone 13 and s21 ultra are kept safe.


Im using my phone more as my pc decided to break, and my laptop is sent in for repair. The only other pc I have is from 2014 and the only other laptop is from 2008. So I use my phone more for browsing sites.

If you plan on doing this a lot or if you notice the ballast overheating. I'd get one of those HPS CMH retrofit lamps that are rated for operation on HPS ballasts.

Yeah most cobraheads use a 3/8" bolt, I think 3/8-16 for the slipfitter bolts. I'd get a good breaker bar or better yet a impact wrench for loosening them, although some penetrating oil such as PB Blaster on the threads will also help.

A torque wrench is useful for tightening them to the arm so they're not over torqued, if you have the instructions I think most modern cobraheads have a recommended torque range for the slipfitter bolts.

It’s scary how one failed safety shut down test on just a normal night shift at the plant could devastate an up and coming busy city like Pripyat for decades to come 😬
Even Anatoly Dyatlov admitted, a few years after the accident, that the flawed RBMK reactors should never have seen service!
