Is that a new pole or was it painted? All the other poles are unpainted. The GE Scalable Evolve lights are one of the only half-way decent looking LED fixtures out there. They use reflectors which i like. Not just plain LEDs with a flat mirrored plastic sheet around them. My 42W LED street light is very bright but it only lights a concentrated area. One time at night i brought it outside on a foggy night and lit it upside down and there was a narrow beam of light that keeping going and going. It wasn't a straight beam, it spread out but most of the light shown straight.

I saw the 67W versions of this up in NH (the 67W versions are tiny little lights!) and they lit pretty well at low (14-18ft) mounting heights (they replaced NEMAs in those cases) but weren't too effective with 24" brackets mounted every third pole on a main road with four lanes, though whatever they replaced probably wasn't any more effective either...

I'm a huge anti-LED person for street lighting. At low mounting heights like for small parking lots, gas station canopies, gas station parking lots, bollards, or any other low mounting height application LEDs work well for low mounting heights as long as the poles are closely spaced too. That said, the LED fixtures will use fewer watts on a 1 HID fixture Vs. 1 LED fixture basis but if the poles are lower down and the poles are closer to each other, you'll end up needing more lights so when you look at it on an overall HID Vs. LED comparision for a large parking lot, you won't end up saving much energy though you'll save on maintenance if you use MH lamps.

I am warming up to LEDs as designed improve. I just hate the pure lies that manufacturers put out there about LEDs. Saying a 4000 lumen 36W LED fixture replaces a 100W MH fixture is complete BS. A 100W MH lamp gets about 9000 lumens, over twice as much as the LED fixture that is claimed to replace it. Sure, you'll save some on the electric bill but if you don't want less light you'll be very disappointed when you flip the switch and the 36W LED fixture is a flashlight compared to your old 175W yardblaster that the garbage truck picked up earlier that same day...

The pole was replaced. They are just black painted Hapco poles. These GE fixtures do well lighting the street. These 245 watt lights are brighter than the 400 watt MH lights but I think most of the lights need a relamping anyway since these lights were installed 10 years ago.

The fixture atleast to me looks like a normal FCO Cobra head
but I do agree with Mike about the Manufactures claims
