The incandescent days. Whitish green glow to yellow. I don't see any Incandescent B2255's anymore. Only see Incandescent shoebox's now. Sylvania of course.
I highly doubt they made incandescent B2255s or shoeboxes. incandescent lamps are the lamps you use in your house. are you sure you don't mean MV or HPS? The light above is mercury vapor, not incandescent.
It seems like whatever you have up there isn't really coming to RI. Hope you stay safe! I kinda wish we get some severe weather this summer. I like lots of thunder storms. It's better than regular rain.
Ahh, I made it home now It seems the power outages are mostly limited to Toronto and Mississauga as my house still has power. I'll be posting some pics I took getting home in the forum later.
Yea its easing up now. I still have a pond out back though. Good to know you make it home The R47 outside my house now doesn't work. It was one with a wire sticking out of it near the bottom. This rain brought the end to that pole.
Ahh i suppose you'll be getting either an AEL 115, Cooper OVZ, or Cooper OVH on that pole soon enough. If someone had reported the exposed wire the R47 might have been saved but if the water shorted it out it'll be replaced unless they decide to replace the ballast inside. From what i understand the contractors are all different and some repair while others replace? Here the electric company, NGrid, services the street lights and they will replace a lamp, photocell, and the refractor and door if they happen to have them on the truck with them. other than that the light gets replaced. There was a 113 on the road to the summer camp i go to that has had a missing door for a while and i had reported it and they replaced the door. They must have happened to have a spare door on hand. So the fixture looks as if it had never lost its door, though there's a little bit of tape around the hinge area. that must have been what broke to make the old door fall off... i was glad they didn't replace the fixture. They even used the correct refractor too and not a GE or FP lens.
On my road most likely a 115 or an OVX. That R47 is toast to say the least. There are tons of R47's here though. Usually a shorted out a pole gets replaced within 6 weeks with a new pole and usually OVX or 115 rarely have I seen new OVZ or 125's. Only once have I ever seen them replace a pole with a Westinghouse OV-15 here. R37's get reported here a lot faster than anything. A R37 is out for one night and a week later its gone. Somebody must not like powerlites around here.
It could be the PC or the ignitor though. If it's the PC they might put a new one in but normally if it need more than a new lamp and PC they'll scrap the light and slap a 115 or OVX on.
The mercs mostly consist of M-250R/R1, OV-15, unistyle 175, and even OV-12. I'm keeping an eye out for the OV-12s. I really like that fixture added to the collection.

I love this photo.
Yea I mean't Mercury vapour. Yea I have trouble differentiating the two.
It's sad here at work, we are removing all mercury from our system now. Any exhausting fixtures are being changed out to HPS and even LED now.
