OV-25 Paradise! « on: January 21, 2025, 11:41:55 PM » Author: Flatbottom
Crystal City, Texas and other towns in Southwest Texas are packed with Westinghouse OV-25s. Make sure you scroll the google street view images to 2013 to see the fixtures.

In the linked Street View, go to the newest one, go to Big Wells Hwy, go past the intersection towards the rural part, and there’s a flatbottom OV-25 still up.

Screw the 2028 120 lumen per watt mandate and DeviantArt! Love old cars, cassette tapes, radios, severe weather and most of all, lighting!
