@2010Freightliner Well for this one, the L250, you need a 9/16 wrench or a deep 9/16 socket with a ratchet. This size is the same for my M400 and OV25 so it should work with other street lights as well.

Cree LED for the win. XM/L at 160lm/watt

The mercury vapor versions of these lights are pretty scarce, I only saw one on the road in Duquesne Light's service area but unfotunately it got replaced earlier this year.

I've seen those in Boston, only 250 or 400 watt High Pressure Sodium. But there is at least one on Metropolitan Avenue in Hyde Park, Boston.

Nice breakdown of the fixture. Do you have any idea on how much one of these old lights would sell for?
