Street lights mounted above water? « on: February 16, 2025, 07:03:41 AM » Author: LightsoftheWest
Have any of you seen any street lights that have been installed above a body of water? I can think of a few. I once saw an OV-15 mounted to the side of a boat dock where it pointed towards the lake and not the dock. I've also seen an abandoned NEMA head on an old pole that was in a bog. If anyone wants the Street View links to either, just ask, and I'll gladly post them.

Would be cool to see. I don't live near any major body of water, except for maybe the Atlantic Ocean, so I don't see many docks around me.

I know I’ve seen a few boat docks around here with NEMA heads on them but I don’t remember if any were directly over the water. There is also a bridge I remember seeing somewhere that had GE 201SA NEMA  heads that were over the water though.

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

NEMA Head OV-15 Since 2016, the dock has floated a considerable distance away from the edge of the lake and detached completely from the boardwalk.

I just remembered one, I’m not sure what it was but unfortunately it’s not there any longer. Unknown cobra

Looks like a GE M-250R. I've always wondered how lights were installed above water. It definitely wouldn't be easy to do so.
