This light was in use for ONE month then it was hit again! Rick told me he saved the two head/socket/ballast assemblies that were not smashed. They now use probe start MH ballasts as replacements, still with mercury lamps.
Makes me wonder if someone crashed it ON PURPOSE cuz they hate MV so much......that they are CRAZY enough to hurt themselves to kill MV.......like a "the MV terrorist....." yeah that sounds kinda overboard to be true LOL
Or mabe the home owner that it's in front of is sick of the light coming in there windows at night ....if thats the case install a non break away steel pole with an AE 327 1000 watt MH in place of it.
Bad location for that pole. might be best to move it a few feet to either side if possible. You might also consider putting up some ARMCO railing in front of it. A double height layer, with an extra support in the center of the standard span should stop this one getting hit. Here they put up short concrete bollards around those that get hit regular, or just place 2 Jersey barrier blocks on each side. Keeps trucks from crushing pavements and drains if they park illegally.
