Here are a few American Electric Series 25s and Thomas & Betts Series 125s in the Green Lot at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup. Here are a few 1st generation M-400s in the Orange RV lot, which is about a block from where the AEs are. All 400W MV. The southern part of the Green Lot has more AE Series 25s.

I have never heard of a surviving incandescent radial wave in all of Mexico! It looks utility owned too!

Here are two MV fixtures, an AEL 325 and a Westinghouse OV-25. They are in the Leavenworth area. Both were 400W. They have since been replaced by Philips RoadFocus RFMs. That sucks because I have never seen an AEL 325 in MV.

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

Awesome to see so many M-1000s grouped together! @Joseph_125: I also noticed that the one you mentioned could potentially be 700w MV. That would be awesome to find and extremely rare, but it could be possibly since Eye/Iwaski made 700w lamps up until discontinuing them about a year or so ago.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

HOLY CRAP !!  I think a road trip is required to verify if these are really 700w MV and weather or not they actually work !!  I NEED ONE OF THESE !!!

Quote from: joseph_125 on October 18, 2021, 12:06:07 AM IIRC I saw a lone M-1000 on CA 163 in San Diego back in 2019 that might have been 700w MV. I wonder if it's still there. It's still there. I saw it while I was in San Diego this summer. Unfortunately, it's inoperative.
