Now using FCO 115 spot replacements?
|
I noticed in a subdivision that recently got upgraded to FCO OVH's got its first spot replacement. Yes it had a flat glass lens. It was a FCO AE 115. There was a second one down the road but a month ago this was an FCO OVH. They may have used FCO because using a drop lens would be inconsistent with the other FCO's

Question for the forum: how is the warranty handled on new installs, and when the labour warranty ends, does the city just put a claim in for a credit on a defective warranted fixture?
Not sure about you guys since the lights aren't utility owned there but here NGrid doesn't take up any warranties on lights. I'm sure on more expensive stuff like transformers and distribution equippment they do but if a street light is a dud it gets tossed in the dumpter no matter what if it doesn't light with a new lamp and PC. If a light is missing a door or lens and they have a door or lens on the truck that fits they'll fix it but if they don't have parts that fit it they'll replace it. Though I've seen a 113 get a M-250R2 door taped onto it lol. It lasted a couple months before the whole light and arm were mysteriously removed and never replaced.
Not sure about the procedure for defective lights, but I think the contractor handles it and slaps up whatever fixture they happen to have on the truck as a replacement as I've seen AELs spot replacing newly installed Coopers and vice versa.
