What lighting is used at DOT-owned rest areas? « on: January 29, 2021, 12:31:11 AM » Author: LightsoftheWest
What lighting is used for rest areas owned by your state's DOT? For me, Holophane Crestwoods, and a bunch of other shoebox and mushroom-type post tops were used for WSDOT's rest areas. A few cobraheads were used here and there. I'd assume they were all HPS. But the LED changeover started in 2017. AEL Autobahn ATBMs started replacing the post tops and the cobraheads. Do you know how they converted the old post tops to LED cobraheads? They simply installed an adaptor. I will show you an example. This is at WSDOT's Sprague Lake Rest Area out near Spokane. Here's what it was before (Holophane Crestwood). Here it is now (AEL Autobahn ATBM).

Some rest stops have some Holophane post tops and GE M250R2s, most rest stops here now have Affinity lights but the post tops remain HPS.

I did forget to mention that the WSDOT went rest-stop-style with their lighting on a large section of I-5 in Olympia. They used to have tons of shoebox-style post tops. Now, they have ATBMs with double adaptors.
