 That's what I thought ! I'd assume that would make them kinda rare . They could even be 120v !

Found in Wakaw, Saskatchewan, long gone by now, also looks to be the only one.

Reason I was there is because I was looking in streetview as they are one of the very few Canadian towns that has a Federal Signal Thunderbolt siren, let alone a working one, at the fire hall.

Nice find! Looking at the pole it looks like they retrofitted it for some kind of remote ballasted HID, maybe MV, maybe HPS.

Toronto still has a few up but it's been a while since I've seen a functional one.

Oromocto New Brunswick used to have many of them too, I always remembered those big remote ballasts they had, gave them character.


Wasn't there a park in Toronto somwhere where there were a bunch of those?


EDIT: Found another in Wakaw

Found a few Unknown Rusty Blocky fixtures on Blocks in the area of PoznaƄ. Personally haven't seen anyone find these yet:

Btw they were sadly LEDified, even though they had a LED bulb at first...

 Anyone know what this LED Yardblaster thing is ?? They're some form of utility rental light and are becoming more and more common here in Ohio : https://maps.app.goo.gl/2XAJ2n6bG4gfBWVj9

@wide-lite 1000 - That's an Evluma AreaMax AX. There's thousands of these in WA since that's where the company is based. They're the most reliable LED luminaire I've seen to date.

Check out the town of Safford, AZ. There used to be tons of LPS (SRPs and SP2s) up until about five years ago (replaced by RoadFocus RFMs). According to my findings, Tucson, Flagstaff, and Safford all had LPS installations at some point in time. Does anyone know of any others in Arizona?
