   Hello, and again looking at those pics they all have another thing in   
   common - a street light.  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,
