Looks like someone needs to get his electric saw and an old plush mattress. Odd how they went through all the time to undo the wiring. Here they "red cap" the lights, meaning they install and open cap and call it a day. Seems as if this guy dayburned for quite some time as the paint looks as if it was "melted" away ontop. Joe M. pointed that out to me that that's an easy way to tell if a light has dayburned for a long time.
I can see a copper theif chopping down the pole for the scrap metal. afterall, there's clearly no voltage in those wires. With the "red cap" practice NGrid uses it's not as obvious that the light is out of service and the wires are still connected too so it wouldn't be too safe chopping down a live pole! but this set up is just asking for a theif to steal the wire... possible the light and arm too...
since it's triplex does that meen this is 240V? I want the M-250R1 lol. I've been trying to get one but i've been having some issues with the person i'm trying to get it from. It's a 175w MV 120X240v unit missing the glass.
There's a OV 15 like this in my neighbourhood, apparently the power pole crew last year forgot to reconnect it after the poles on the other side were replaced.
you should report the light Joe. sometimes NGrid will randomly remove a working light and arm and install a new one with a new arm after a few months or even a year goes by lol. There was this one M-250R2, 100W HPS on a 6ft tapered elliptical. The thru-bolt and one lag must have gotten loose as it was hanging around on its last lag. it was like that when i moved into the area in 2003 and was like that until i reported the light in 2011. All they had to do was slip the arm back on the thru-bolt and install a couple new lags. The light worked fine. But nope, they removed the whole damn thing and never put up a new light. So i had to report the light as missing after the pole being empty for six months and they came out over the summer of 2012 to finally put up a new M-250R2 on a 6ft upsweep. The also randomly put a 50W HPS M-250R2 on a tapered elliptical on the next pole. Orginally there was a 100W light on a tapered e on every other pole so now the pattern is interuppted by a 6ft tapered e with a 100w light and another with a 50W light lol. I don't know which bugs me more, the fact that they removed a perfectly working light and arm, mismatched the arms, or screwed up the pattern and stuck a random 50w light among a bunch of 100w lights lol.
