There are no powerbrackets here at all unless they're privatly owned. there ARE a few HPS NEMA heads in the Pascoag utility area (not mantained by NGrid, but fed by them). It is kinda odd seeing a M-250R2 used as a private area light, but kinda cool too I guess. I'd rather have a cobrahead in my driveway with controlled optics rather than a NEMA head that would throw more light in my windows than on my driveway.
I know of a few powerbrackets around where I live, Mercury Vapor ones, Most I know of are out though. o.o I have not seen a working powerbracket in my area yet.
They are maintained by IREA, the utility that favors Mercury Vapor, it seems they don't take care of their power brackets though.
I will fix it..OK....anyway in PEPCO there are tons of Powerbrackets and Ballast in Arm and a few Sylvania power brackets....a lot were neglected for a while, but lately PEPCO has improved their lighting servicing from what I noticed, and a lot of Powerbrackets (pretty much all were MV) has been relamped with new MV lamp, but some got a ballast replacement and was turned to HPS while working MV stays MV. So I saw this one row of MV powerbrackets that became HPS except one that stayed MV in a private property. (they REALLY needed to be serviced, and glad they did although if it was sooner maybe they would have stayed MV!) Oh well.
And what's wrong with the thumbnail?
Very few powerbrackets i see are Metal Halide.

@Ian i don't know what's wrong with the thumbnail it's been like that ever since this picture got fixed cause it was blank for a while.
and jace can you throw a Gumball on your powerbracket like you did in that old photo?
Gumball + Powerbracket = Good Idea!
