Most U.S. street lights operate at 120 VAC       with some at 240 VAC. Usually that's supplied by a nearby MV-LV       distribution transformer. Perhaps the lamps in those photos use some       other voltage that's being supplied by an LV-LV transformer. Sincerely,                     --       J. B.
