These monster fixtures are located at the parking lot of Foss HS, on Clay Huntington Wy.

They are 4x700 or 1000W mercury, I seem to remember some of the fixtures have metal halide lamps.

A couple of the poles can be seen here, with the Fred Meyer across the street. The mounting height is high but these are up to 4kW loading per pole.

The decorative panels can be seen intact on this closeup. These fixtures look better in the daytime than they perform at night though.

SurvivingChecked on "as of" date (either in person or via latest GSV available), so can be assumed to be surviving at least as far as that date
as of 2024 but retrofitted, series removed after 2014
This set of series incandescent acorns is located on N Mason, just SE of Ruston (although not in Ruston). There's a full street of them, and most are working, if a little shabby. The residents really love them, they came out and told us so when we were there taking photos. I think I'm right in saying that this is probably the only installation of its type left in the state.

...and just to prove it's really series, here's a couple of pics of the regulator and feeder transformer. A slightly odd way to do it, but it worked just fine. The HPS flood is pointing at a building at the end of the street.

The poles are still there as of 2024 but the series system was removed and the heads were changed for multiple wired LED reproductions around 2014-2018.
