[Gone] Numbered M-400As 
Here's a pair of M-400As whose days are numbered as they're redeveloping the plaza where these were to condos. The rest of them at the parking lot had already been removed but they left these for now to light the construction offices. The original underground wiring to these has long been cut so they put in a new overhead feeder for these lights.

cool fixtures,neat poles...too bad they will be going to that utility scrap yard in the sky. Neutral

also....how did you get Two pictures in there?
joe_347V   [Mar 07, 2011 at 04:51 AM]
Yeah too bad they're going to be scrapped... Confused

As for getting two pictures on the gallery page, you'll have to resize and upload your second picture somewhere like photobucket, imageshack or even to GoL. Once you've uploaded you picture get the direct url of the picture (which usually ends in /filename.jpg or similar) and place it in between these [img ] [/img ] tags (remove the space between the bracket).

To make the 2nd pic the same size as the GoL one resize it to 700X525 before uploading, and if you want to add the click to enlarge feature, you'll have to upload an additional larger pic and link to it using the smaller pic.

Note: if you used GoL you don't have to upload two separate copies since the gallery automatically creates a smaller copy, in this case you use the url of the normal pic (ends in normal_filename.jpg) as your smaller pic and the url from the pop up enlarged pic as your bigger pic

Note 2: I keep my the width of the smaller 2nd pic at 700pix wide or less to keep a consistent layout

Note 3: I don't know how to make the enlarged 2nd pic display in a pop up window like the first pic.

bbcode format:
[url= larger pic url ][img ] smaller pic url [/img ][/url ]

single pic:
[img ] pic url [/img ]

Hope that helps and reply back or PM me if you need further clarification. Wink

Darn, I was actually inquiring about these lights, so let me get this right all of the poles in the lot are gone except for this one? And is the building still there? I just made a phone call and they told me I might be able to get these lights but it won't be for at least 6 months so we will see Neutral
joe_347V   [Mar 07, 2011 at 09:24 PM]
Yeah I believe this is the last pole at the lot, and the building is long gone too. Only thing there is some construction offices and a sales office.

Cool that you're trying to save them though, good luck.
gailgrove   [Mar 07, 2011 at 09:26 PM]
Oh well, I'll still try to get these two.

UPDATE: The closer M-400A is now out, along with the other pair closer to the road.
gailgrove   [Aug 28, 2011 at 06:10 PM]
I've called them a few times and they don't really know when these will be coming down, the guy I talked to side he would call me when they are going to come down.
joe_347V   [Oct 04, 2011 at 08:26 PM]
Update: These have now been taken down, probably today or two to three days before.
gailgrove   [Oct 04, 2011 at 08:28 PM]
Well how nice of the person that said they would phone me when they where going to take them down. Mad
