These GE 'LA Hillsider' luminaires are located at Angelo Circle which is north of Sunset, west of Benedict Canyon Dr, and a small portion of Angelo Drive north of this. There's a little confusion over what this precise location is actually called, the LA Times' 'Mapping LA' project calls this Beverly Crest, but the portion of Angelo Dr I'm talking about actually goes from Benedict Canyon, up into Beverly Glen. Either way, since the demise of the Chatsworth Hillsiders in late 2009/early 2010, as far as I know, this is the only installation of Hillsiders in LA County.

Unlike the Chatsworth installation, these are all series wired, and burn clear mercury lamps. A couple on Angelo Circle also have house side shields.

This one on Angelo Dr is the northernmost one, just south of Maybrook. As you can see, the rest of the lighting is unremarkable, FCO HPS cobraheads which appear to be multiple wired too. I don't know if this whole area was once lit with Hillsiders, but for some reason this one series loop of now ultra- rare lights remains...but for how long?
