More dayburners lately « on: August 28, 2021, 10:50:26 AM » Author: Cole D.
I've been noticing a lot of dayburners here lately. I saw that American Electric 15-000 which has been dayburning about two years. There are also two MV NEMA heads that have been dayburning, one of which has dayburned since 2007 at least.

Plus on a newer road yesterday I saw one of those AEL ATB2 LED is dayburning already, it just over a year and a half old and already dayburning! The first LED dayburner I've seen.

There were also two Westinghouse 4th gen OV20 HPS I saw a few of dayburning a while ago.

The HPS parking lot lights and wall packs on Home Depot have been dayburning for a few months too. IDK why they haven't fixed it still!

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

I've seen lots of Affinity lights dayburning around here, I think the photocells are junk. I've seen new black PCs being installed on them all the time.

I've been seeing a lot of dayburning Cree RSW LEDs in San Jose, even though most of them are only a few weeks old. But I think in this case, I suspect someone may have put shorting caps on fixtures that should have had real photocells, since lights at intersections with traffic lights are usually group controlled by a single photocell, whereas every other streetlight is individually controlled.
