R37's are down. I have a chance now!
|
These R37's on under braced arms have finally come down and have been left at a church beside the road. This roads now LED though. I feel that its gonna be a hassle finding the crews again. Any idea on how to remove the fixture from the arm? I don't want these to get scrapped as they can become my first light of my new collection. They are on a church property which I know the minister who can take them for me if the crew doesn't take these

Our residential streets crescents and courts are 70w and some 150w. This is also one of the first subdivisions built. They are original braced arms even the powerlites. They replaced these with LED 103w NVN's. Thanks for the tips guys! Much appreciated! I got a bunch of adjustable wrenches I can try
I wonder what light was on these arms when they were were first installed.
Do you know what contractor was working on these?
I did not get to see who was doing the work unfortunately. In the morning there were no signs of any crews coming then by about 12pm they were on the ground and the poles were crunched broken or lying beside the fixture.
I'm upset that i missed out on two M-1000s and a RLG but I'm happy with the two M-400A2s. Better than nothing!
70w R37s are rare in my area too, they are either too old for NEMA tags or have 100w tags on them.
To open up the lights you just pull on the latch away from the fixture to unlatch the door.
70W HPS is rare in NECo territory but BVU has lots of 70W FCO M-250R2s.
Interesting how most places use 100W HPS has the minimum. Here 50W HPS is the minimum and it's used all over the place. BVU didn't use 50W, they used 70W instead. Both used 100 and 250W HPS but neither used 150W or 200W HPS.
Our lowest wattage streetlights are 70w . Our only 200w's were replaced in 2011 for 250w. Over 60 OV-15's removed and all replaced by OVX's
For new cobraheads NGrid installed 50, 100, 250, and 400W. For coach post tops NGrid installed 50 and 100W. For flood lights they install 250W and 400W. Nothing over 400W here though in New York NGrid installs 1000W HPS lights. they're AEL 327s, the only light NGrid uses that's not GE or Cooper.
