Mix and Match They were replacing some old cracked light poles in my area exactly one year ago give or take a couple days. But it turns out that they decided to replace the lumes at the same time, oddly they decided to mix FCO and drop lens once again and this time decided to mix arm lengths too, Ugh. The OVF in the front replaced a B2255, the OVX, a B2227 and the second OVF another B2277. See the pic below to see how this street looked back in 2009.

Mix and Match

They were replacing some old cracked light poles in my area exactly one year ago give or take a couple days. But it turns out that they decided to replace the lumes at the same time, oddly they decided to mix FCO and drop lens once again and this time decided to mix arm lengths too, Ugh.

The OVF in the front replaced a B2255, the OVX, a B2227 and the second OVF another B2277. See the pic below to see how this street looked back in 2009.

Wonderful Rolling Eyes At least when they replace the poles here they tend to reuse the fixtures and arms.

Here when a pole is replaced, a new fixture is installed. We use aluminum poles here.

Here we use concrete, steel, aluminium and sometimes wood, the only poles we don't use are fibreglass (thankfully).

I've seen fiberglass utility poles in my area before I believe they replaced some concrete streetlight poles when they added the line in, oddly they kept the old fixtures and arms that time.

nice looking scenery here.

Odd how the SCO fixtures are bare and the FCO are painted. Confused

Update: Bare Cooper OVFs on 8' arms got installled on the other side as extra lighting around this time last year.

Also, I'm glad I made a screenshot of Streetview when I uploaded this pic as the current Streetview shows the OVFs.
