In my past 2 years of sreetlighting, I found a few scattered fixtures among the rest that are vintage, such as: 5 OV-20s, I'll probably get three of them  More than 5 OV-14Bs, I'd be able to get only one of them. An OV-25 Silverliner still in service, 400W HPS 5 Landmark model 25s, two of them has been replaced last fall, so only 3 left.

I mainly notice the westy OV-25s and silverliners are abundant in the older parts of town (and relamped too!) as well as vintage fluorescent gas station pole lights. I also see a bunch of 80s and 90s HPS 250w fixtures on koke mill road and wabash.

Oldest are 60s/70s small Mercury lanterns, that i dont know who made. They have few different shapes but all are the same basic construction - sheet metal top on a cast aluminum base, with clear PMMA bowl. The gear is in a gearbox at the base of the bracket

Down with lamp bans!

We have plenty of OV-25s, M400As and A2s (with the occasional M400), ITT/T&B/AEL 25s, and NEMAs. Many of these have clear MV lamps. I also know of two GE Form 400s that still run every night, still 400W MV with the old external ballasts.

I like my lamps thick, my ballasts heavy, and my fixtures tough.

Over here there are some older post tops dating from the 60s to the 90s (wyt-ray post top, gec bathurst, gec Burnett, etc..) and a couple of 90s side entry minor road lanterns (Namley a Sylvania B2224). There are still a few mercury lit main roads around Canberra, though they're extremely rare, being found in only one area.
