Parking lot lights

At my church there are two big lights that light up part of the parking lot where I pull a hay ride with one of my old Fords when we have an annual event. They are up probably 25-30 feet and they both mount on a wye structure. I need to replace them and yes I plan to go with the latest and greatest. My question is, how is it that they most likely mount? I expect that there is a plate at each end that the back of each fixture mounts to. I am hoping to be able to hire an electrician with a bucket truck that will be able to do it all in one trip.
 
Some pictures would help, there's a
million different types out there,
binoculars may help too. Most of the
commercial lights like you see along
state roads mount on a 2" round pipe
with setscrews but really it could be
anything

Thanks Mark, That is a good idea.I will have to take my binoculars down tomorrow.
 
If a mercury vapor bulb replace it with a 10,000 or 5,000 lumen corn cob LED bulb. Did it on two yard lites on my farm and made a world of difference for the amount of light.

What kind of poles, wood, or actual lamp posts that can be laid down for lamp service?

They are on an actual lamp post with a wye on top to accommodate two separate fixtures. I will look into laying it down.
 
I have a 30' aluminum flag pole, It takes 3 people to lay it down. If it's a steel pole, doing it buy hand ain't gonna happen.

I'm thinking that I can get it done with my loader, maybe with a jib added, and a couple guys to help. Or maybe just a couple ladders. we have some agile young guys.
 

A local contractor will not only the equipment needed to do it safely, but will most likely KNOW what you have now, and how it attaches, and all that stuff.

My mercury vapor light is only about 12' above the ground. I installed it myself using an extension ladder. That was 20 years ago, and now it needs to be replaced. I ain't doing it. I'll hire a local contractor with a bucket truck.
