The classic lights of Canberra are few and far between, this just means that I get know each one better!

Certain roads in Altadena had some but those roads are totally wiped out now, Pasadena hills, most notably Inverness Dr area has some pretty unique radial waves on ornate arms. Those are in the fire path as well so hopefully they hold up.

Thanks guys. @fluorescent lover 40 I saw those teardrops and was madly hunting around for a good half hour but with no luck, that's what got me thinking of starting this topic. It seems that most lights not on timber poles survive fires quite well here with occasional melting of plastics but usually they survive just fine. All the lights I saw on the news in Los Angeles were fine.

Perhaps they'll use the new ernc and perhaps ernm. Then at least something interesting could happen.

Found some yearsrops in pacific palisades! 1217 las Pulgas Rd. Have a good look up the road and down nearby streets because there are so many different types of side entry gumballs and teardrops everywhere!

Screw the 2028 120 lumen per watt mandate and DeviantArt! Love old cars, cassette tapes, radios, severe weather and most of all, lighting!

They should do, it's the clean up and rebuild I'm worried about.

They are already replacing the downed power poles in Malibu and Pacific Palisades. The downed HPS in Malibu will be replaced with LED, some are already up. SCE doesn’t install as many Cooper HPS anymore. In Palisades DWP is replacing the downed poles with steel utility poles. The HPS and other HID in that area was replaced with LED a while ago.

Oh yes, there are plenty of old teardrops and gumballs all over LA and its suburbs. Here are some in Little Tokyo: https://maps.app.goo.gl/C9h9zKvbv2zmj8jt8
