The OV-50 on the right I believe is my particular fixture and the one with the glare shield belongs to Wide-lite 1000.

I've been busy finishing off my Christmas light display.
A few more tweaks and it'll be good to go. The previous 2 nights have been test runs and tonight will hopefully be the first run of the finished display.

You could always test the components in another fixture if you have one that's suitable.
There is a chance that the starter may have gotten stuck during testing. This results in only the filaments glowing and the ballast getting warm. Leaving the fixture running in this state will either fry the ballast or cause one of the filaments to break, depending on what happens first.

Yeah some of the "theories" floating around on the internet regarding these are pretty wild.

The problem seems to be limited to AEL/Acuity luminaires from what I've noticed. My area started using LED in late 2009/2010 and I've yet to see a LED luminaire fail in such manner. Granted AEL/Acuity LED luminaires are rare in my city.

OVF's are cool! Yeah, American Electric must be a bit cheaper in price than most

A large number of street lights were damaged here from hurricane Ian. LCEC must have a large stock of 125's because they're still installing them to replace the damaged lights. I've been watching to see when they start using Coopers again. So far still AEL. I'm excited honestly for them to start using OVF's again. They have been exclusive with AEL for the past 5 years at least.

Interesting. But now, I'm sure Cooper is going to go soon

I wonder if the places here still spot installing HPS will end up switching to Cooper. As it stands right now, they seem to be using old stock AEL. A 125 went up here the other day. Replaced a M-400R2.
