This streetlight is in front of my house in our yard. It was just installed a few years ago. We didn't have a streetlight in front of our house before. Until i called LCEC and put in a request for them to install one.
How many wires are going into the arm? (look at the hole near the bracket mounted to the wood) that's one way to help you narrow down how many volts its powered with....South West Florida eh???
Watch that fixture, since it's 100 watt it may be alright but Cooper fixtures are well known to cycle early in certain wattages...the higher, the worse....so since it's 100 watt, the lamp may last longer.
Most likely 120 volt Does it share the same wires that connects to your house? if so, then same transformer, 3 wires from transformer connects to your house (by passing the 3rd wire and using 2 to the streetlight fixture)
Yeah it looks like its connected to the wires that go to both my house and my neighbor's house. Do you know who makes these mounting arms? LCEC uses these everywhere. On residential streets mostly. And i like them. If i can find out who makes them, i would like to order a few of them.
The mounting arm looks to me a Maclean brand to me, a 6 Foot one.....but I also noticed it has a special mounting style for concrete poles too...does your area use concrete powerlines also? That's what Jacksonville FL has....
It seems almost every company makes this style of arm, GE, Cooper, AEL and other non-lighting companies. I honestly don't like this style of arm, they seem like a cheap version of a tapered elliptical arms to me. Concrete poles are very common here.
Tapered Es are classics too, around here anyways. I don't think these look that good, and I would only put up with them on wood poles. I think all cobras look good on tapered Es, now maybe not clamshells and NEMAs but everything else.
This is not a MACLEAN bracket. The upper bolt hole flange is different from the ones seen on the website and at work. On another note, I'm not sure who makes this bracket but jace is right, this is for use on concrete or even steel poles.
At Work, All we use are MACLEAN Cantiliever Brackets similar to these and A-Frames in Galvanized Steel. I know National Grid in my area uses Utility Metals alluminum products.
Well, this is my favorite mounting arm. I like them a lot. There are a lot of concrete poles around here. But for this size mounting arm, this is the only style they use here. For wood poles and concrete poles. But there have been several new roadway lighting projects around where i live, and they are switching to those Holophane Mongoose luminaires. They don't even need a mounting arm for those. They just install them right on top of the aluminum poles. Maybe thats why they are switching to them. . . .less material cost
My preference for cobraheads is either the 8' Al Tapered E arms commonly used here or the 6' steel MTO "luminaire truss" that used to be common on our freeways.
Nice OVH. Where I live there are no streetlights on the road, all the roads are dirt. Some utility poles have the occasional MV yardblaster or MV powerbracekt (that most likely won't work)
IREA likes to use MV still, downtown Bailey they have some MV cobraheads, and I saw that they replaced an M-400 R3 with a FIRST GENERATION M-400 R2! 400 watt MV, all of them have clear lamps.
And to the OVH, these got installed everywhere in lakewood replacing the old lights, I think the Lakewood Public Works or something did a huge changeout with 2004 OVH's. They got like every fixture and didn't replace some M-250 R2's, I wonder why they did that, even though the old fixtures worked just fine.
