@ wattmaster I have been looking at your website, and have these points to make: When it comes time to replace the LED street light you have to think of the following points, and this is a best case scenario for a lantern having replaceable elements. 1. Remove screws holding element in place. 30 seconds 2. Swing element down and unplug it from lantern 30 seconds 3. Fit new element into place and plug it in. 30 seconds 4. Replace screws holding element. 30 seconds Total time taken 2 minutes. Now compare it to replacing an HID lamp. 1. Unclip bowl and swing it down. 5 seconds 2. Remove old lamp. 5 seconds 3. Put new lamp into socket. 5 seconds 4. Clip bowl back into place 5 seconds Total time taken less than a quarter of the time. These timings assume that you have someone helping you.

Sadly all that is irrelevant though, our council, (Cheshire East), gives its engineers 15 minutes per lantern change out, which is more than enough to replace the existing unit with its new one. Neighbouring council Weaver Vale, even have them pre wired on a new outreach arm, so all they have to do is drop the cable down the column, and connect at the bottom.

Rather than focus on trying to stop the inevitable you should focus on stocking up on as many of the "lost technologies" that you can.

Quote from: GE101R on February 23, 2019, 10:59:53 AM One good lightning voltage surge and the solid state power packs are toast. Don't let them fool you that the surge suppressors work on severe surges, they don't. I wonder if that would explain why I see strings of several lights dead at once on the freeways. I had always thought it was a blown fuse but back when they were HPS I never saw that many off at once.
