If the building owner doesn’t want those, they would be cool to take! Did they get damaged when the pole fell down?

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

Hopefully you can also get the ballasts. And also photocells if they have them, but floods like this might be manually switched.

That would be cool if they still used R40 flood bulbs.

Always ask the owner...who knows he may say yes, get it in writing you do not want to be challenged when getting them...good luck
