There was a GE M-250R1 175 watt mercury vapor light in Shaler Township PA that dayburned for at least ten years that received a new photocell and was relamped back in 2008 in Duquesne Light's area.
Unless YOU report it! Well at least when you report it, they DO relamp it....... Before in PEPCO...if someone reports its dim....the linemen would say "if it works it's fine!....but I donno about now...they recently did relamp to about 80-90% of their PEPCO lights so now it is much better and a lot less dayburners...near to NONE!
BGE....they are VERY good at making sure they properly are relamped and rephotocelled....they even replace photocells depending on the PC's age...even if its not dayburning, they will replace it anyway....
Here too. I've reported the M-250R"1" in front of my grandparents' house numerous times. The lamp practically puts no light on the ground and has been dim as long as i can remember. They don't seem to want to relamp it. They did relamp other dim mercs on their street though. The light is getting the cold sholder.
My power company is slow too when it comes to repairing streetlights in a timely manner, in fact there were several streetslights that went out in my area last September and weren't fixed until January 2011.
