The lights are being replaced because the wiring and many of the poles (and the neighbourhood) are about 50 years old, so there have been some underground wire failures recently, plus they say the Twistpaks "Don't meet the city of Brampton's lighting standards and blah - blah - blah". Really the upgrades are not necessary, the roads they have done already are lit almost as well as many arterial roads which is rather outrageous. They won't even install new Twistpaks since they are no longer approved by the city and they say they don't light the road well enough (And they light these small streets fine.)

A lot of arterials here don't even use double arm streetlights on the corners.

Yeah I don't know who would of though this was necessary.

Maybe the same people who put in ped signals in places with no sidewalks.

They do that here to. They'll put up a ped signal at an intersection with a traffic light in the countryside and there won't even be a sidewalk.

Here's a good one and this one is just weird.

That second one is just funny!

wow that's soooo funny.

Update: These poles still don't have fixtures, however poles that went up on other streets have OVHs. Looks like we are now going FCO

The OVH cycle just as bad as the OVZ and OVX. OVH/G look cool with drop lenses though I've never seen one with an actual Cooper plastic lens. Not even a picture of one with a cooper lens.

Bleh more FCO lights.

It's the FCO that bothers me the most.

I hate it when they mix FCO with drop lens.

i do too.

I think it is now only going to be FCO, so I don't think I'll have to worry about that, I hope they don't start FCO conversions though, then I'll get mad.

They spot replace with FCO here but it really depends what they have om the truck drop lens fixtures are still occasionally installed. Richmond Hill is 99.9% FCO though.

N-Grid only installs drop lens thankfully.

We did up until about a month ago, it could change anytime, it was never announced this was happening.

Update: Nothing has happened with these lights yet, the TwistPaks are still up and running, my guess is they are waiting until spring to remove the old poles. The fixtures where installed in late November and are OVHs.

Will you try to get a few of the old TwistPaks? I would like to get one, but I've never seen one in real, they're non-existent in my area.

Update: The Twistpak came down today, the pole is still laying on the ground and only one other Twistpak on the road was actually taken down.
