These are the new LED's installed on Dixie road in Missisauga just north of Dundas. I think it could be a Autobahn or a STR-LWY-1S-HT. The LED's have these weird names. The new LED's m@ spotted in missisauga have also replaced R37's on Winding trail. Notice the 4th box its a dayburning LED. There were a bunch of those too
Mississauga is eventually going totally LED... All 60,000 of so cobra heads will end up scrapped. I've seen a few of these installed and it seemed every third light was dayburning. Total pieces of junk.
I've noticed that none of them have PCs, instead they all have antennas on top. I somehow get the feeling the dayburning might be a programming glitch... Not that streetlights should need to be programmed in the first place, what if someone hacks them?
Yea I noticed those antennas too. I was wondering if they were just like a PC. It could even be part of a control system. I could imagine somebody flickering them at night
LOL i wonder what their face will be like when they get the energy bill and it's more than it was before the changeout since the HPS lights weren't dayburning (and if they were OVXs half were probably out anyways )
They were majority OVX then R7's then 125's. I thought it would be a good turnout but leaving them like that is going to give them a bill for energy that could have been saved but its going to waste tax payers money
oh yeah i forgot these aren't relay controlled... i suppose they could be metered if they wanted to since they have central control areas. I assume the antennas on the LED fixtures are more or less like Ripley's Aladdin PCs?
I guess they are sorta like the Ripleys PC's except there's are PC's and these are antennas which also allow the city to override the lights if there is a problem
Yeah it looks like they're basically just a wirelessly controlled relay with some sort of current measuring device inside. (I guess it knows when the lamp is EOL by measuring the current).
