Very cool! Also, looks like there was a fire or something nearby when this photo was taken for Google? The sky looks brown.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

Quote from: fluorescent lover 40 on December 09, 2020, 10:34:09 PM Take a look here. A lot of them are on double guy poles. Scroll around on this stretch of the freeway and the other nearby stretches before January 2017. (GE Evolve ERS2 LEDs were installed in 2017 replacing most if not all the HPS and mercury cobraheads) Actually, most of the cobraheads on the double guy poles were 1960s GE M400s, but some of them did have 1960s GE M1000s from time to time. In addition, some portions of the east LA interchange actually had a handful of M1000 lanterns with glareshields and there was a M1000 with no glareshield on the onramp that transitions from the 5 freeway northbound to the 10 freeway eastbound. Here is the location of the M1000 without the glareshield on the East LA interchange that I was talking about: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0528567,-118.2137793,3a,34.4y,11.81h,101.14t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sMOir8k0M96P7avpHPEdVcg!2e0!5s20090201T000000!7i13312!8i6656

Here is a portion of the 10 freeway that had a M1000 lantern on a double guy pole surrounded by mostly M400 lanterns: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0287323,-118.2266579,3a,49.5y,44.31h,101.44t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s4NbRidbq0ONc6mzTDd3sDw!2e0!5s20090201T000000!7i13312!8i6656 In addition, note the remote ballasted Westy OV25 with a glareshield along this stretch of the 10 freeway.
