as of mid 2022
Update May 2025:As an inevitable consequence of the lack of replacement lamps, a look around these areas on GSV shows this installation survived
until mid 2022. The original poles have had modern retrofits installed, but still of the harp bracket style so they look quite good. As of 2024 there were one or two bits left, but the changeout is well underway.
These pics taken April 2013A great find this- a large installation of series incandescent that's well maintained and not going anywhere any time soon. Apparently the utility that looks after these for the city of Rochester has enough lamps to keep them going for a while.
The city loves them too, and wants to keep them for as long as possible.
The porcelain fixtures with integral harp bracket, are GE Form 14.

The following pics are an example of parts of this large installation. I won't give exact places as there's so much of it, just to say that if you drive on Winton, north or south of I-490, and look on the side streets you'll see stuff like the following.

Most of the installation is concrete poles with harp brackets, and porcelain heads molded to look like flowers. Some have been painted and look a little tatty, and there is some spalling on some of the concrete, but most of it is sound.

There are the odd one or two that have had the porcelain head replaced with a barnlight refractor but they are few.

There are some taller steel poles and arms, with NEMA heads and traffic signal style reflecors- still the same lamps though, probably 2500lm.
These ones are on Glen Ellyn near Imperial.
