Niall...you are picky! oh boy! Dude...those are HID! NOT LEDs....they were installed just like last week or 2.....and they are gonna do the left side of this pic too!
Another problem is it can't be recycled, concrete and metal both can be recycled but fibreglass and wood can't, that is another reason I like concrete poles.
I like the ones on the right more than the ones on the left, although I agree about the fiberglass poles. The utility here has some poles exactly like these, but they no longer install new ones. Any knocked down ones gets replaced by a concrete pole.
Funny thing... My area has been using fiberglass poles since the mid 70s or so! Most of the older fiberglass was only for posttops though. But I noticed the today's ones seems better since the newer ones are really smooth while the old ones had obvious fiber texture.....But I know a lot of fiberglass poles from the 70s still IN USE! Almost ALL the Mcgraw/Cooper Traditionares we have under my current electric company have the fiberglass poles by default...the older ones (from early 70s) are metal though. The wooden poles are actually an option around here today!
The arms up there are aluminum while the poles are fiberglass...
You sure fiberglass can't be recycled? I know fiberglass poles are lighter and easier to install and they don't rust and if you hit it, it won't HURT you because they are too light LOL!
Another thing...we have too much crazy drinking drivers now days, is it worth paying expensive poles when we know they will hit it pretty soon
The left row are metal...but some are kinda wearing away, and they are kinda boring...probably more fun in the 70s...but they are starting to look drab...as we all agree...the right row is better!
