Street lights for rent: poles, posts and wall lamps

Poles, posts and the cobra head set up

Poles, posts, set up parts and other street lamps account for 12 of the 24 lines in EC's Street Lights category. Period street lamps on deco posts come as L-0008, with 6 panes of glass, and L-0009, with an acorn globe. L-0093 is an 18 inch green china hat with a twist on socket cap on a candy cane pole, and L-0067t a white 14 inch china hat with a twist on socket cap on an 18 inch square base.

L-0254 pairs a 29 inch mushroom cap shade with a 10 inch glass globe, and L-0357 is a 24 inch bubble top china hat on a 24 inch square steel base. L-0229 is a street light with a 14 inch metal shade and an elbow, and its line names no mount. Apart from the cobra head poles, no line in this group states a pole height, and several stop where the book cuts them off, so a height is a question for the front office. A cobra head photo from EC's old Street Lights page is kept on the Street Lights photo wall.

The cobra head set up comes as 5 separate lines: an aluminum pole, either L-0482at at 17 feet 8 inches or L-0482as at 13 feet; L-0482b, a 6 foot aluminum arm; L-0482c, the plastic cobra head light fixture; and L-0482d, a steel cart for moving the poles. Each part has its own stock number and count, so a request hold list names the pole, the arm and the fixture one by one.

Street lamps that mount on a wall

Wall-mount street lamps fill 8 lines of EC's Street Lights category, each one marked wall mount in EC's book. L-0129 is a cobra head body with a mounting pole/bracket. Round plastic shades come with a button top on L-0465, 8 inches across and 14 inches tall, and without one on L-0309, 9 inches across and 12 inches tall; L-0157 pairs a round plastic shade with a stepdown and a mounting pole/bracket, and L-0276 is green metal with a round plastic shade.

L-0364 has a fiberglass body with a plastic lens, L-0375 is a brown metal light shell with a plastic lens, and L-0632 is a 20 inch china hat on a gooseneck pole with an 18 inch by 5 inch mounting plate. For china hat lights of 15 to 20 inches with no pole or gooseneck, turn to Large China Hats.

Exterior floods and the walkway bollard

EC's Street Lights category also holds exterior floods on 3 lines, 24 units in all, and 10 walkway lights on a single line. L-0198 is a scoop shade flood 24 inches wide, 24 deep and 10 tall, L-0209 is a dual head scoop shade flood whose lights each measure the same, and L-0403 is the third exterior flood line. L-0485 is a bollard-style park and walkway light with a glass globe on top.

For the wider run of EC's floods, see Flood Lights. Street signs and the posts that carry them are stocked separately, in Street Signs and Sign Posts.

Moving the poles: cart, truck and crew

Moving a 17 foot 8 inch street light pole is planned around your vehicle, because EC does not pick up or deliver. EC's book lists a steel transportation cart for the cobra head poles: L-0482d, 33 inches wide, 200 inches deep and 58 inches tall.

For truck size, EC's policies say "You are encouraged to call ahead to see what size truck you will need for your order." On loading, the same policies say "Due to our insurance policies, E. C. Prop Rentals employees cannot help you load or unload your truck, car or van." and ask "Please be sure you send enough crew members with your driver." Pads and ropes or tie-downs are yours to bring. Pickups and returns end at 4:30 PM, when the loading dock closes, Monday through Friday.

The as-is rule in EC's rental policies covers every pole, lamp and flood filed under Street Lights: "All items are rented on an as-is basis, without an electrical plug, which makes the items non-operational at time of pick-up."
