The rarest street light for me would be that Pemco gumball in Boston that got replaced.

For me, it's a 250w MV Roadster and a 250w MV Optispan on the same pole. 2 very rare lights but seeing them on the same pole and still in use as of 2022 is amazing when you consider that the lights are still very well maintained and just a few meters away in the same car park is another 2 arm pole with 2 MV Optispecs but best of all, they are only about 15 minutes away from my house. I still need to get some photos of this rare sight and upload them to LG. Also have to give a shoutout to the GE M250R installed at a nearby shopping mall. Seeing any cobrahead in Australia is rare enough but the GE M250R is an amazing fixture to see installed in Australia considering they were once everywhere in the US and Canada. Sadly it doesn't work and hasn't worked for over 10 years.

@Radiant: they are being spot replaced, Surprisingly I sent the management an email of interest and they said they would  ask the owners of the mall about it. Apparently they have saved the old ones they have already taken down! I'm not going to get my hopes too high, but I have a slim chance of saving these. If I get them I'll try and save some for other collectors, they weigh 70 pounds and I cant keep them all.
