Recently the local Wal-Mart and Market Basket service roads had new concrete bases installed (nothing was there before) I saw that there's now 5000K Cooper Galleons on the poles.

I'm sad to inform everyone that a nearby used car dealership (Belmont's finest lol) previously had 6 poles with 2 1000w MH shoeboxes, I drove by them today and saw that each pole now holds a single 5000K cheapo LED. :curse: >:( :'(

I figured. I was looking at it on Street View. The shoeboxes had red stripes on the top. I only counted 5 poles on Street View.

I realized that a Philips Ecoform in my school parking lot is flickering very slowly, it slowly goes down to about 50% and waits for about a second and then goes back to normal.

I remember seeing a Philips Roadfocus do the exact same thing somewhere in downtown San Jose.

I saw an OV-15 mounted on an arm attached to a barn. I also went through Roy, WA which I call Yardblaster Mania!

Ah, I found the floppy disk LEDs that replaced perfectly fine 3yr old MH shoeboxes.

Today I saw 3 EOL GE Devolves and a lone 3000K GE LED in a sea of 4000K. Also saw that a GE 201SA rental got replaced by a 4000K GE Evolve.

Saw another new pole and GE Evolve ERL2 installed today on the CalTrans system, replacing the old pole that held a Leotek E-Cobra that got knocked down.

-------------

And a very, very cool find on the CalTrans system: three lights, and three different color temperatures. All next to each other! Lights:

GE Evolve ERS2, 5700K
Solarmax SMX, 3000K
Solarmax SMX, 4000K

The 3000K SMX was installed just recently, replacing a ERS2. I believe the older SMX also replaced a ERS2 as well.

I found a GE M-400A that was knocked down. I also found a Hubbell RLC-400 that was also knocked down. The GE was at the intersection of WA-161 and 362nd St E. The Hubbell was at the intersection of WA-161 and 194th St E.
