Outdoor 3-phase lights have value?

[kurtedmund]

Hi there,
I'm new to this forum, and honestly not an electrician. My father passed away and I'm cleaning out our family business's warehouse since we've sold our land and will be closing the business. We have a bunch of old 3-phase outdoor lights from when our 9-hole Par 3 golf course was lit for night time play back in the 70s. I know this is old and inefficient technology, but I'm wondering if these massive lights have any value and could be put to use/rewired or are they scrap metal? Each light is maybe 1'x3'x3'
Thank you for any info you can provide.

Since this is not a "how to" question we are allowing it.

Funny, I could see it earlier but now it is one. In any event, I don't think those fixtures have any value at all.

All I see is a circle with a - inside it, even when I click on it.

I saw it earlier also. Two rows of them on a shelf in a garage or shop..
No matter. They are worth about $.15 per pound IMO

That old, will be several generations of date. I have never seen a 3 phase fixture in 40 years. I dont need to see them, and can say that they should be scrapped. Look for hazardous materials...abestos wiring,

Thank you so much for the info, folks. I kind of had a feeling, but wanted to make sure they couldn't be of more use to somebody before I scrapped them.

I couln't view picture either, but modern technologies are energy efficient enough to make them worth the investment over things that were common just 10-15 years ago, they pay for themselves in the energy saved in relatively short time.
