Came across a neighbourhood in Makrham that's still lit with some nice old Powerlite Twistpaks. The Twistpaks were very rare in Markham as the standard lighting was cobraheads. It seems every Twistpak I come across in Markham are painted black too. I guess these are 70w or 100w HPS but there's no NEMA tags on them.
Those are 70w Almost all of them here are 70w. A few are 100w or 125w though but they are usually on taller cement poles but our replacements for them are 125w OVF's
could the twistpacks been painted after they were installed? i didn't know they came painted before AEL was around. They look odd in black since the reflector/hood is still bare and the concrete pole is well, concrete.
I can't say I've ever seen a black Twistpak before, I know for a fact Oakville still uses them, when I was at my co-op we got to install a few brand new ones!
