Virtually all of the pintype insulators Naragansett Electric used for local distribution lines were brown or white pintypes (nothing fancy). Here we also see a street light with acorn glass, dating back to the 1950s. This originally had an incandescent (filament style) lightbulb. However it was converted to the more modern mercury vapor type as evidenced by its "paint-can" style transformer (ballast) that is mounted near its bracket. Slightly above the light is an early photoelectric lighting control which turned the fixture on at dusk and off at sunrise. These early controls were powered by glass tubes in them and many of them were made in those days by the Fisher-Pierce Company in Braintree, MA.
