What's your favorite older, unusual parking lot, floodlight, or streetlight fixt « on: April 08, 2021, 05:16:51 PM » Author: Desultory13
This topic might be difficult but I still thought that it might be fun.

For me it's easy the Line Material/Mcgraw-Edison Stylaire

But the GE Powerglow is a close runner-up.

Street Light: General Electric M-1000 (preferably with a capacitor fin, either 700w or 1000w MV)
Parking Lot: General Electric Powerglow A4000
Floodlight: Either Wide-Lite F-Series or Westinghouse MRF-400 (it was a close tie between this two fixtures...) I also like the older model GE PF-1000.

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.

The GE M-1000 is by far my most favorite fixture used in older parking lots.

Hmmmm...so many to choose from!
For roadway applications, it's a toss up between the Westinghouse OV15/OV25, and the ITT American-Electric Series 13 and Series 25.
For parking lots, i'd be the Westinghouse 2nd generation OV50.
For flood light applications, I've always liked the Westinghouse MRF-400/1000, and the GE Power-Flood series.

BTW we got the ITT 13 for my brother's birthday. He will get it in a few months.

Parking lot:

LM Stylaire for me too. Unfortunately quite rare as I've only ever seen one in person.

These Powerlite parking lot lights are pretty neat too.

Floodlight:

These 400w Steber flood are pretty unique.

Another one of my favourites is the Wide-Lite F Series.

Streetlighting:

Any vintage Powerlite
Any vintage GE
Any vintage Westinghouse

Too much to pick from lol.

I really like the Pericline and Contra/Cline from Moldcast Lighting and the Wide-Lite Supra-Lyte.

What I call the "floodlight" version of the AJ Ferguson Zodiac. This version has only the side mounting hole and nothing on top except 2 raised parts where the holes for the photocell and top mount arm would normally be located.
I have a Zodiac like this in my collection.

Fluro starter pings combined with a 50hz ballast hum and blinking tubes is music to my ears.

Bring back the AJF Zodiacs!

Total incidents since joining LG: 17
Lamps accidently broken or smashed: 14
Ballast explosions/burnouts: 3

ON LG FOR 2 YEARS! Please don't ask to meet up with me, as I am still living with my mother. Don't send me items either please, thank you!
LED street lights are bad. Some look good though. HID is better.
Please, watch out for the future. It's not looking good. Loves instruction manuals of any kind!
