Treelighting 
So I uhhh, came across these streetlights today, it's a couple of AEL 115s mounted to a couple of trees. Note that the trees even have "pole" numbers on them. [IMG]http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss50/joseph_125ON/Meta/61755ba4.png[/IMG]

I think these were the tree mounted streetlights I mentioned in a comment...the AELs are quite new though which makes me wonder what were the original lights I saw...

On a TREE? I have never seen this before. Maye they were too lazy to put up a utility pole.

What a wacky improvisation. xD Very clever.

Wow .. never seen that done before!

What the??? This must of been done awhile ago, the tree is actually growing around the mast arms. Shocked Shocked Where is this?

Introducing Vince Electric's new wood pole!

Comes with a 200 years warranty, no maintenance required, will never rot, and is environmentally friendly! Set of 500+ lightning rods is included. Order now!*






*P.S.: There is a 20 years delay while we treat your order Laughing

Yeah, I was like Shocked Shocked when I first saw it too, and it's been up for while too. I think this might be the same pole I saw back in '95 with what looked like a B2255 on it. Oh and it's on a path in Niagara Falls.

Oh, and Vince you forgot to mention about the easy storage and shipping these wood poles offer. In fact you don't even need tools to install them. Laughing Laughing
TiCoune66   [Apr 07, 2012 at 02:48 AM]
Oh yeah even more advantages of using them!


Also note that this joke contains NO PONIES! Laughing

Shocked O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O Laughing
I've seen this done with NEMA heads at Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH. This sucks, i was over there to go on the skylon too and didn't go down the path. Mad Sad
Anyways, the arms have been there a while since the bark is growing over the mounting plate. Also note the "07" NEMA tag. Rolling Eyes

I wonder what would your reaction be if you saw them in person. Laughing Razz
streetlight98   [Apr 07, 2012 at 09:10 PM]
Let's just say if i saw the previous light Customs would be questioning me as to why i have a streetlight in the backseat of the car. Laughing
joe_347V   [Apr 07, 2012 at 09:28 PM]
Ahh, a tree climber eh? Laughing
streetlight98   [Apr 07, 2012 at 09:36 PM]
Tehehe.

Someone obviously planted some bulbs earlier this year Laughing
joe_347V   [Nov 17, 2012 at 09:04 PM]
I guess they were sodium bulbs too. Laughing
