Streetlights on your street? « on: May 02, 2018, 10:53:18 PM » Author: Cole D.
Are there streetlights in your neighborhood or street? Unfortunately my street does not unless it's the rental lights in yards. Further away from my street when you come off the highway, there are three AEL 115s on metal poles with truss arms like on the highway. But other than that only busier intersections have them. One intersection has GE sodium cobras, one is full cutoff, but only one is working lately. Plus one area has a few HPS NEMA buckets near the intersections randomly. I'm not sure if they are rentals or streetlights, since they're up over the street more. Of course closer to town, most neighborhoods have a few HPS cobrass and downtown has mostly NEMA buckets lighting the streets and a few Westinghouse Viscounts.

In my neighborhood (and the surrounding ones) its post-top type streetlights - 100w HPS. Every intersection has one, and I think they're spaced every 4 or 5 houses along streets.

I forgot one subdivision in my area has post top lights that look like GE or AEL not sure if they are MV or HPS, they have the cylinder with "hat" on top. Another subdivision has GE Town and Country style lights in HPS.

This is what we currently have in our street, although how long it'll stay that way is debateable, given the relentless march of the dreaded LED's from both ends of the road

Quote from: monkeyface on May 06, 2018, 03:59:19 PM Our street is already lit by Philips MiniLUMA LED street lights. They are about 19W nominal but dim down to about 12W during the night. Colour temperature is warm white 830. I installed them two years ago while taking down all the over head power lines with their street lights. You installed them..?    How could you..?

Quote from: monkeyface on May 06, 2018, 04:20:08 PM Yes I work as a power grid electrician and our utility company is contracted to the village I live. That's why I am responsible for the street lights not only in our city but also in out village.   Wow, I don't think I could cope with having to install LED street lights, least of all in my own street

Same here, there are MV and HPS bucket lights in my neighborhood too but they replace them with LED cobras if any go out or have problems. I haven't been seeing this in other neighborhoods, just those that are on our power provider.
