GE M250A2 - After the fire.
Everything survived, except the photocontrol LOL.

Note the streetlight is on a 120V circuit.

I wonder what exactly happened to the PC?
TiCoune66   [Sep 09, 2011 at 10:01 PM]
It cooked for two hours, but I'm not sure if it had something to do...

Just saying... Laughing [/sarcasm]

Vince I know that - I commented on the picture Razz But what exactly would of failed inside because of the heat.
TiCoune66   [Sep 09, 2011 at 10:06 PM]
Probably the photoresistor. We use thermal PCs here, so that's pretty much the only part that can fail.

Not really the only part that can fail...LOL....I have seen different ways for thermal photocells to have issues LOL Including some exploded ones (exploding inside causing the PC window to be all brown or black)

Almost surprising the refractor didn't melt!

Yeah, the refractor surprisingly looks fine.

Looks clean inside too. I'd think there would be some ash from the smoke caked on there.

how do you know the fire caused the light to dayburn maybe the photocell decided to quit its job. Laughing

Well, heat energy makes thermal photocells shut off the load. Fire brings extreme heat energy and kills the thermal photocell. Razz
