gfretwell: I wholeheartedly agree with the extra ground wire length.
I've been the guy to go out a secure the sites after poles have gone down, and more than once I've found the wire over extended to the point of failure, and have found more than one has become a 4" X 4"X 20' steel conductor. I've always been glad that I found it before a someone else.
Around here, it's becoming a real problem. So called "lighting" speciallty contractors are entering into the market and are practicing predatorial bidding to get into a job, then using unqualified labor in order to turn a profit on an impossibly low bid. The result? The customers get what they pay for. And IMHO, it's scary, and it will not end well.
