Bishop Crook with Cobrahead Luminaire
Photo Gallery Streetlights
 From the OH NO division, if ever there was one!
Kevin Walsh noticed these mutants cropping up in Downtown Manhattan.
Our Mayor must've gotten into one of his famous feuds, this time
with a NEMA "bucketlight". Someone forgot to tell the
DOT that these are Bishop Crooks, not Bishop Crouse
(Hinds)! Is this the future for all surviving pendant holding
masts? Is this perhaps the nefarious work of NEMA hating Dark
Sky lunatics? This is foisted upon the remaining original castirons,
even as multitudes of "Body Snatcher" retro casted
poles take over Manhattan with brand new Mission Bell luminaires.
