Good ol' quarter moon incandescent!

Concord, MA still has lots of these. Most have incandescent bulbs, a few have CFLs. However many were replaced by induction or PSMH in recent years.

CFLs?!?! Shocked Mad Ugg. There's not a worse choice for such vintage lights. Confused I like the fact that they're going to PSMH. Seems like the newer MH systems are becoming more competitive with HPS. The color is out of this world compared to HPS too. Smile

Mike its NOT ok if induction and MH are installed to replace incandescents, the latter are historic, modern white lights are not.

I meant PSMH is a much better alternative to HPS as well as LED and any other "green" energy light sources. I don't like the idea of induction streetlights but it's still better than LED. Of course i wish they had kept the incandescents. Sad I misread your description. I thought you meant the PSMHs were added for additional illumination. Embarrassed

There are a lot of incandescent streetlights in some cities of California also, but there are no quarter moons. Mainly acorns, gumballs, teardrops, and occasionally radial waves.

Oh Mike no I didn't get to see the OV-10s Sad Theres so much you can do in only one week with much of that centered around a wedding in the family lol.

Maybe next year you can see them and we can meet up too. Cool

Only one incandescent gumball left here in Toronto, Shocked I think it might be a missout from the MH conversion in the mid 90s.

I have a incandescent gumball in my collection that's identical to what was used in Toronto though.
