JR sent out an electrician, Phillip, to start mounting the new LED lights on the south side of our pier. We had put posts up for the three lights several years ago when the wiring on the north side was redone. This way the rewiring folks knew where to put a junction box so the new lights could be connected at a later date. The new lights put out 7500 lumens and are brighter than the 400 watt lights on the opposite side. These will use only 80 watts and are supposed to last 100,000 hours. Phillip came out on the 4th of July to finish up this first one since he had mounting problems and had to get some parts the day before.
These lights were mounted at intervals between the lights on the north side so provide more fishing stations without adding more pier. In the future we want to add kickout islands like the one on the north side, but we will are having difficulty getting approval from the GLO.
