Maybe both companies guaranteed the same performance.
Am I wrong to think that not all is lost, all they need to do is change the bulb...and the major investments were the poles? Not trivial of course, but also not a total $180m loss
- beart 8y agoI imagine the primary cost is labor. These are street lights that can't just be swapped out in 30 seconds.
- buttcoinslol 8y agoThe pole head needs to be swapped out, since the LED is integral to the fixture, not a swappable lamp. This requires boom trucks/lifts and that work cannot be performed hot, so shutdowns need to occur. There are thousands of lights. A union journeyman costs ~$65/hr in Detroit A 50/50 split between labor and materials isn't unusual for electrical work
