in 4min a LED installer replaces an old Street light in Santa Clara CA 2015

[@WitchidWitchid]

In my neighborhood we had mostly incandescent street lamps well into the mid 1980's with a few mercury vapor lamps here and there.. Then around 1986 they changed them all out for HP Sodium. I liked the incandescents and the sodiums. They both had a warm relaxing glow that looked awesome silhouetted against the sky on a clear evening. Then a couple years ago came the LED fixtures. Now the entire city is all LED all the way. I don;t like the LED's all that much. The light seems harsh, void and has a nasty glare. They remind me somewhat of the old mercury vapours but with lower light temp and a harder glare. I kind of miss the old HP Sodiums and incandescents.

WitchidWitchid Don’t worry bro, HID lights will never fully “disappear”.

[@sxymike12]

They put LED lights in our block and now where getting them eliminated all together we rather just go dark

[@bluewaveproductions4017]

Still was interesting they would switch from MV to HPS around 1980

[@AngelHernandez-ls5wr]

I like the old mercury vapor or sodium lights the style are beautiful better than the led lamps

[@douro20]

These will eventually cost more to service than the original fixtures. And there is the added complexity and reliability issues with LED drivers. I'd rather stick with my HID.

I’ve gotta say that I like the color of HID lights better. They’re more characterful, etc. I’m not really a big fan of LEDs, but the shitty ones like these are disgusting.

Hmmm ... set up time to park unit , raise bucket ? Take bucket down ? Test and certify unit ?

[@bartrazin]

Nice!! Why isn´t the opening of this fixture on top? It is much easier working from the top than from the bottom. I also mounted such fixtures and it is puzzling why a manufacturer doesn´t make more easy fixing luminaires.

[@georgewills-ek1gg]

it's called planned obsolescence. it means that the manufacture of the streetlights can make more money selling new units that fail.

What does the blue thing,on the light, do?

[@MultiBrowsers]

The Blue cup is a sensor that turns the light off when there is a sun light above certain level

[@MultiBrowsers]

It sense the Sun light level and turns off or on the main Street light

+Evan Francis Its a dusk-dawn sensor. Some are grey, some are clear. All do the same thing - turns on the lamp when it gets dark, and off again when it gets bright outside. Not all road lights have them, as some setups have multiple road lamps controlled by one master sensor, usually near the same transformer that feeds that group of lamps on the power pole. When these get dirty or fail, that is when you will see a road light on even during the day. Sparkies tend to call this phenomenon "day burners"
