As a result of the Ice storm a few weeks ago this Shoebox was hit by a huge branch or a tree limb that fell from the storm causing the lens to fall out and the entire fixture to be upside down. The pieces of the lens are scattered under the snow and Ice. A new shoe box will likely replace this one.
There hasn't been a fate yet. Its still crooked like it was a week after I took this, the lens disappeared and birds have decided to nest there
There is also yellow caution tape between the tree pole and fence
Wow. At least here they would have disconnected the light or better yet, removed it and placed a trash bag over the top of the pole and ziptied it in place.
Well the shoebox is the light, so it's a lightless pole then? NGrid does that here (with lights on wood poles). If the arm is damaged they'll remove the arm and light off the pole and then not put anything in its place for a few weeks or even a couple months. Sometimes I've had to report the light missing before they'd come out and install the replacement.
The pole broke into three pieces. The pole broke at the ground and just above the OVZ. Prior to the pole being hit, the flood was replaced with a new Cooper one higher up on the pole and the OVZ got a replacement GE glass refractor.
The new Cooper flood light has survived the crash but the OVZ was destroyed. the tapered arm looked OK but they never installed a new light on that arm. All that's on the new pole now is the Cooper flood.
Wow about time lol. The OVZ in my last comment above never ended up having a replacement light installed on the new poles either. Still just the flood light. And now Cranston owns their own lights so there never will be a replacement, as they likely have no idea there ever was one there since it was gone under the electric company's watch.
Interesting, doesn't seem like a big difference in the two outputs, but maybe that difference between 50w and 54w brightness to our eyes is affected by the LED's colour temperature or just glare from the path?

Just take the PC out.
The pole with the OVZ and flood was struck down by a car.

Yeah I could see why there might not be a replacement. Was it previously RIDOT owned?
