I spy something different about the LED panels compared to the first one I uploaded, the panels are blacked out. Some research on the cooper spec sheet leaves me to think your shot might have a "house side shield" which is a plate that individually shields each LED. I'd have to get a closer shot to see.

I'm surprised they replaced such a recent pole instead of just replacing the fixture like they do here. Also interesting that your LED fixtures have NEMA tags, our's don't so sometimes I have to guess the wattage from spec sheets.

Yeah weird they wasted a good pole. That little height difference won't make a difference anyway lol.

The replacement poles on this stretch are pretty inconsistent, theres 3 poles around the height of this OVX, 1 really tall OVX and a pole the same height as the LEDs with an AE 115

Are they direct bury? If so they might have just buried them at different heights. Still tacky but they could be the same pole specs.

Yeup direct burial. They could be, maybe the specs for that OVX required less depth so they kept more of the pole up. Ive noticed the replacements for shoeboxs have been various pole heights and e arm lengths. Or the pole actually Is just smaller lol

Yeah I noticed that they're pretty inconsistent with the burial depth. I've seen poles where the handhole was barely above ground level and in other cases where the slot for underground wire entry was above ground.

I think base mounted concrete poles are pretty rare, so far I've only seen them used by the City of Toronto.
