Quote from: Metal Halide Boy on September 16, 2019, 10:58:10 AM There are a lot of 1960`s GE Powr/Brackets in my area owned by the utility that are rented in  peoples yards in our neghborhood. As for private lights, there is a 1980`s Regent Superliter about 30 minutes from my house. That's cool. There were a few Powr/Brackets here used for lights in yards (all 400W MV with the big refractor) but unfortunately there's only two or three left I know of, and they don't work.

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

Quote from: sox35 on September 16, 2019, 12:53:06 PM There are some lovely mercury-lit Thorn Precincts in the car park of the police station across the road (see here  ) Other than that and the odd sprinkling of HPS, it's 99% LED  That's sad. I'm fortunate that my area still has lots of HPS and a decent amount of MV lighting, but that's not the case for a lot of towns.

Probably the last two remaining GEC Z9480s from 1960 are the oldest here, they even have their original SOI ‘open’ autoleaks in! Sadly, ones in a very dilapidated state, (although still running), and the other is mint, on the side of our community centre

Probably the oldest around me are some M250R1's in Meredith or some of the high mast lights in Concord.

For my neighborhood, it's varied. Some home security lights are from the 80s, although some porch lights may be from before that. For streetlights, everything is 1980s and newer. The area never got heavily populated until a few decades ago, and so the infrastructure was dilapidated until then.

The are two out-of-service Unistyle 400s near me. One is off of the WA-507 in McKenna and one on Spanaway Loop Rd in Spanaway. There's also a bunch of ITT 25s in the Green Lot of the Washington State Fair. There's another one that's dayburning in a parking lot in Yelm. There used to be one right across from it, but it's gone now.

This one, still running in full nightly service today, all the columns along here went with the 2017 change out, except this one??? No idea at all why this one was left on its own in a sea of LED, but it still works considering it one of the originals from the early 60s!!  , it runs 35watt SOX

Quote from: WestinghouseCeramalux on November 12, 2020, 10:00:00 AM The one in McKenna has been out for as long as I can remember...that's at least 35 years plus. That one is owned by WSDOT. Really! Oh wow.  The one I'm thinking of is mounted to a wooden pole, and there's also a NEMA head (AEL 11 I believe?) on the same pole that's also out-of-service. Is that the one you're thinking of? https://earth.app.goo.gl/?apn=com.google.earth&isi=293622097&ius=googleearth&link=https%3a%2f%2fearth.google.com%2fweb%2f%4046.93399239,-122.55915536,95.05116272a,0d,57.37528169y,316.61065558h,99.36289206t,0r%2fdata%3dIhoKFjI1R09jcGcwY1E5S0dnelh3WW1ha3cQAg

The lights on this pole are the oldest I know of in my area. https://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=6321&pos=32&pid=170535

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.
