Street lamps

[TPES]

I have a couple of street lamps to replace, they are up high on posts (just as you'd see on the side of the road) the defusers are broken and lights not worked for a very long time, my customer wants new head units fitted to the posts as they are likely to be water damaged.

Does anyone have any experience in changing these units? I understand there's a few different types with different threads to the fittings..

Anyone have any good websites to give me more detailed info on the different types of street lamps there is?

The only way I can see me doing it is hiring a lift to get me up to the light, taking it off and then trying to find a match somewhere and get them ordered, then come back to fit?

Is there a universal type fitting that can be brought and fitted to the post?
Do you know any wholesalers that keeps them in stock..?

On a side note.. Went to a "suppliers day" held by Neweys (Didn't even think we had a Neweys account but never mind) there was a guy there peddling LED streetlamps.
I we were well impressed they were so bright and the light was really crisp and white, can't remember the power consumption but that too was also impressively low

never mind light /power consumption COST lol i was brousing a suppliers cat other day n a nice LED flood caught my eye they the price £1000 floored me Im still shaking

the fitting you have shown has a U bolt arrangement If memory serves me correctly its about 50mm spigot they are pprone to leaking and gathering water we use to drill a hole at either end of the visor to let water out
