I don't like the AE Durastar or the cheap Chinese mercury yard lights.

I would say GE actually stole the design of the AE 325 and modified it somewhat to get the new M400 design. Anyways I hate the Durastar the most followed by the Cooper OVX unless said OVX has a FCO lens (it looks better that way).

Yep Durastars are the worst for the ugliness, but I do like the OVX...(sorry frog)  AE cobraheads are worst for the quality of the ballasts....(Never seen an AE survive a cycling HPS, yet I've seen OVX survive 2 years of cycling)

OVXs, not for me LOL. I can only say everyone has their own taste and I respect, however.

LOL yeah at least I know ugly fixtures when I see them!  As Daveman would say, the OVX looks like a melted Silverliner.  Did I mention the reflector design in those and some other Coopers causes premature cycling of HPS lamps?  If I had a streetlighting company or ran BGE for instance, I would stay away from OVX and go for the GE stuff!

I've seen GE fixtures fail even after 1 month!! Plus GE has problems too, like losing doors! In fact seeing GE loose doorsare a lot more common than seeing OVX lose a door! In fact I donno of ANY OVX that lost a door

Fixtures I Hate: Durastar: because it looks messed up and i would rather stick needles in my eyes that look at that! China Fixtures: because most everything well everything made over there has crap slapped on it! New GE M-400's: because they took AE's design of the 325 and 125! AE: 113, and 115 just look ugly! Westinghouse OV25 Flatbottoms
