Lights in my Immediate Neighborhood Here's a diagram of the street lights in my immediate neighborhood. The black numbers are the pole numbers. The red A or B means the wattage (A=50W HPS, B=100W HPS). The colored dot represents a utility pole. The color denotes the type of arm used (all are 6ft arms). Black dot - Pole has no light Red Dot - Pole has a tapered elliptical Green Dot - Pole has a cantilever Blue Dot - Pole has a 1-1/4" diameter upsweep arm Purple Dot - Pole has a new light installed by NGrid that previously didn't exist. The red dot poles are also circled in red, as I'm pretty sure those were the original lights in the neighborhood and others were added as more houses were added. The trend seems to be that tapered ellipticals are installed at intersections and where an older house is located. As the neighborhood developed, lights were added as needed. I actually forgot to circle one of the red dot poles, can anyone point it out? It's along Canonchet Trail but belongs to Algonquin (Al-Gon-Kwin") Trail, which intersects Canonchet ("Kuh-Notch-It"). I basically live in the center of the neighborhood, next to pole 8 on Tomahawk. It's just left of the center of the shot. Just thought it would be cool to post some sort of map of the street lights in my neighborhood. :-D Keywords: Drawings_/_Wire_Diagrams_/_Spec_Designs_/_Etc.

Lights in my Immediate Neighborhood

Here's a diagram of the street lights in my immediate neighborhood. The black numbers are the pole numbers. The red A or B means the wattage (A=50W HPS, B=100W HPS). The colored dot represents a utility pole. The color denotes the type of arm used (all are 6ft arms).

Black dot - Pole has no light
Red Dot - Pole has a tapered elliptical
Green Dot - Pole has a cantilever
Blue Dot - Pole has a 1-1/4" diameter upsweep arm
Purple Dot - Pole has a new light installed by NGrid that previously didn't exist.


The red dot poles are also circled in red, as I'm pretty sure those were the original lights in the neighborhood and others were added as more houses were added.

Is it 2B?

Yeah pole 2 on Algonquin. It's a 100W HPS because of the B.

# 80, flags in front. What do the yellow dots mean?

LOL you found me! Now you know where to send any cool lighting finds you get. Razz Laughing

Whoops! Forgot about the yellows. Those are 6ft steel upsweep arms installed in the early 90s. They all have 50W HPS 1992/1993 flatbottom M-250R2s. There are more flatbottom R2s on other arms too though (all 50W). Those steel arms were probably just added lights, not replacing any lights, as NECo would have reused the arm otherwise. NECo also used a 6ft steel cantilever style bracket for replacing incandescents in the 90s. There are none in this neighborhood. I'm pretty sure my neighborhood was original mercury vapor. They installed incandescents through the 60s though (and mercury vapor too). there might have been a few incandescents. The oldest houses are from the 50s (basically all on my street). There are some 60s houses and some 80s but most are 90s houses. So there may have been incandescents, or maybe there weren't lights before the mercs.

Like send over a bunch of AEL mercs, LOL

We don't have any AELs here. We have some Thomas & Betts and ITT American Electric lights but no AELs. And very few T&B and ITT mercs. Most of our mercs are GE and then Westinghouse.

In a matter of a couple weeks these lights will probably all be LED. Sad I'm gonna try my best to save them. I will do everything I can to save at least the light in front of my house, if for nothing else than sentimental value, since I basically grew up looking at that street light. Would love to save the M-250A2 FCO MVs but they're to the south of this picture and not in my immediate neighborhood, so it would be very hard to catch them replacing them. Should be easy enough to catch them coming down my street. Just stay up for a month straight and live off redbull and I'll go up to them looking like a crack addict with sleepless blood shot eyes asking for street lights. They'd probably call the cops lol.

You are really desperate about these old streetlights fixtures, Mike Rolling Eyes Razz
