What's The Oldest Fixture You've Seen In Service? « on: October 19, 2022, 04:36:35 AM » Author: 108CAM
The oldest dateable fixtures I've seen would probably have to be some 1960's fluorescent streetlights but I'm fairly sure I've seen older fixtures in use but can't fully verify the installation dates.

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

I saw some teardrop pendants In San Francisco that date back to the 1930's. I also saw a GE Type M-2 LPS lantern that was original to the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937.

Nothing too old around here although we did have some early 60s American Electric 15-000 cobras which were sadly removed early this year.

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