Unknown fixtures... Found those in North Carolina, I do not know who makes those...but I know a few things about them... -Those are from the 60s since my old public schools (and a lot of the schools in Montgomery County) built between 1964-1969 had those outside. Plus the school bus parking lot had a bunch of those) -This particular one has 1000 watt MH, but they may still have the original 1000 watt MV ballasts. -They can also be mounted as a "cobrehead" as the schools that I used to go were mounted with the reflector facing down. -Those are believe it or not, full cut off fixtures, with glass covers! -I have seen lower wattage versions used at my schools. That's all I know, it's a lot time I last have seen those fixtures! Can anyone shed some light about those?! Keywords: American_Streetlights

Interesting fixture, I've never seen anything like this or know anything about it though.

The angle of the right one makes it sort of looks like a L-150.
