What Cobb Electric is known for
Site and security lighting
Parking lots, ball fields, building exteriors and the dark corner of a property nobody wants to walk across. It's the work Longview and Tyler already know this crew for.
What actually fails on a pole light
A dark pole is rarely one problem. Sometimes the lamp itself is done and the fixture is fine. Sometimes the photocell that is supposed to switch the whole bank on at dusk has stuck, so nothing fires no matter what time it is. Sometimes a contactor in the panel has stopped pulling in, which can take out an entire row of poles at once and look, from the parking lot, exactly like eight separate lamp failures. The wiring inside the pole base itself can corrode or come loose long before anything visible looks wrong. Guessing at which one it is from the ground wastes a trip and a part. Cobb Electric checks the panel and the control circuit before anyone climbs anything, because that is usually where the real fault is hiding.
What to have ready when you call
A rough count of how many poles or fixtures are out helps more than anything else. Whether it's one head or the whole row matters, and so does whether it happened all at once or crept in over a few weeks. If a fixture was replaced recently, say so. If the property has a photocell or a timer that someone has already tried resetting, mention that too. None of it is required to get a truck scheduled, but it usually means the right parts are already on it.

Beyond the light itself
A dark corner of a lot is a liability question, not just a lighting one.
Cameras need light to record anything useful. Insurance carriers and property managers both notice when a lot has gone dim in patches instead of evenly. A single dead fixture at the back of a building is the kind of thing that sits unreported for months, right up until it matters. Site lighting work does not always start with somebody calling to report an outage. Sometimes it starts with a property owner walking the lot after dark for the first time in a while and noticing how much of it they cannot actually see.
This kind of work was already part of the business by the time Charles Cobb joined his father in 1967, back when the company was still called Cobb's Southwest Electric. The fixtures have changed a great deal since then. The job, checking a property after dark and fixing what you find, has not.
