I agree. I would have used 4 400W PSMH fixtures per pole or maybe 2 or 3 1000W PSMH fixtures per pole but definetly not four.

Those fixtures may have been 4 lamp MV, but retrofitted with HPS.... see those those are the EXACT SAME ONES above

yeah 4X 1000W MV seems to be mor realistic...

Yeah, or 320w PSMH...even our high masts sometimes only use 400w or 750w HPS.

I would rather have more lower wattage bulbs..better light distribution and isn't very dark when a lamp fails
Same principle i use for lights in my house. ..most are 2+ lamp

Yeah the few highmasts used here are 400W. I'd rather have more low wattage fixtures too. I think 200W HPS on every pole on a road is better than 400W HPS every-other pole. The cost is higher though due to the need for more fixtures so utilities don't usually consider that.

HPS Flying Saucers

These two have FOUR 1000w HPS lamps! Bright as the sun and ugly as the old Seagull. :P
