LED's get done with this already!
This downtown Seattle street has been like this for over a month now. The GE M400's have been replaced with these Leotek Green Cobras, but for some reason, the contractor never finished the job. Some lanterns were removed and nothing put on them; there are shorting caps on about a dozen of the LED fixtures, and the rest have photocontrols. Some poles like this appear to be feeding other poles via overhead wiring.  One at the end of the street, just out of view, one LED fixture is burning at half brightness (but all LEDs are lit).

Ack! I would much prefer the old Form 109s. Razz

Eww! Full cut-off anything looks bad on old poles like this. At the very least they could have chosen LED teardrops. PSMH or CMH teardrops would have been the best way to go IMO.

I see the classic seattle weather! Anyway that dimmed one is it on a dimming circuit or is it dying already? Very Happy

I was thinking the dim one was only connected to one leg of the 240v feed, but I'm not sure.
