Newest Addition! Crouse Hinds OV-15 or L-150.
Here is my newest addition. I got it from Alain (Vaporeyes) as he was selling it to me.

He included a photocell with the shipment which was nice. This has a plastic refractor and I fixed the latch.

The latch had a loose spring so I just atached the spring to how it should be and it now springs just fine.

Put the 175w Metal Halide/Mercury Vapor ballast in this. I am gonna put the 70 watt HPS ballast that was included with this in the M-250 R2 and make it FCO.

Very nice!

Nice! I'd personally get a 100w HPS ballast just for the sake of the NEMA tag being correct.

I have a spare 100 watt HPS ballast. xD From an M-250 R2. Sadly I don't have an ignitor that will work with it though. The one I had broke. D:

I need one more that is GE! I dunno if an ignitor like that would work with GE

Glad to see it made it with no dents. I figured the latch was an easy fix, I think I bonked it when I took it down or while it was stored for a while, I just never bothered to figure out what happened. Now you just need to put a new NEMA tag on it.

The refractor has some cracks in it though... Very small cracks. And where the bracket keeps the refractor in place, a piece chipped off there, but it still holds in fine.

What happened to your old pictures of this light? Looks like you deleted them.

Not all of the L-150s actually had NEMA tags! Westinghouse was a bit late into starting using tags!

@ Ian, I have a spare GE ignitor for a 100 watt ballast if your interested.

Tony: Sure. You can send it with the M-400 R3 you are sending me. xD
