Pomona Induction Streetlight

Pomona is another city near me which has also converted to induction streetlights. Unlike the City of Brea which picked the "New Jersey" style shoe shaped fixtures, Pomona decided to keep a classic look and went with semi cutoff cobraheads.

This fixture is a GE M250R that had been retrofitted with a 135 watt "EcoWatt" induction lamp system by Tanko Lighting based in San Fransisco. It may look like any ordinary streetlight to most people but the NEMA tag and the white light at night (vs the more common orange High Pressure Sodium) would tell otherwise.

The majority of these fixtures are found along Mission Blvd and Holt Blvd. They brought back the old "deluxe white mercury vapor" look to the area but with better efficiency.
