Integral Twistpaks Here's a variation to the Twistpak design, it's a Twistpak that's been integrated into the pole. I don't think these are made anymore though so new installs of Twistpaks use separate poles and fixtures. These are also common in Toronto parks as path lights.

Integral Twistpaks

Here's a variation to the Twistpak design, it's a Twistpak that's been integrated into the pole. I don't think these are made anymore though so new installs of Twistpaks use separate poles and fixtures.

These are also common in Toronto parks as path lights. Some of the Toronto ones look like they're MV.

Yeah those ones I think are the more recent twistpaks installed here. If you go up to the next subdivision hazelwood they have 70 watt post tops the same ones that you have. I went by here yesterday too Razz

Interesting, I used to think the poles were a bit taller though.
Model25FanForever   [Sep 02, 2013 at 11:35 AM]
The taller ones are usually on concrete poles. But the design I think it is a bit different on the concrete twistpaks

You're alarmingly close to my house... Laughing My entire neighbourhood is lit by these. Very Happy There are a few concrete poles with Twistpaks that replaced knockdowns and now a few Brampton "specials" (32.5" pole w. 8 foot arm) that are now being used as replacements. Thankfully I haven't heard of any plans to replace them... yet.
Model25FanForever   [Sep 02, 2013 at 07:24 PM]
Thats Dixie and Queen, You are pretty far from there still Razz Laughing I don't think i have seen those specials yet.
gailgrove   [Sep 02, 2013 at 07:32 PM]
Well, about five minutes. Laughing I'm sure you've seen the specials, in reality they are anything but "special". Razz
Model25FanForever   [Sep 02, 2013 at 08:12 PM]
Oh yea those, I see those in 115 OVZ or OVF most of the time. I really wish I saw these spot replacements more often http://goo.gl/maps/Dp72c I saw one that replaced a shoe box back in 2011! too bad about the shoe box but i like the M-250 as a spot replacement
joe_347V   [Sep 02, 2013 at 08:13 PM]
Well, I guess I would have known from the large number of Twistpaks in the area Laughing . I was just around the area after dropping by the Restore again. Laughing

The Brampton specials are basically what York Region uses in their subdivisions. Laughing
Model25FanForever   [Sep 02, 2013 at 08:21 PM]
I think I knew the exact spot you were standing in too, considering I was biking there today Laughing . Yea york has a lot of cooper shoebox's in they're subdivisions
joe_347V   [Sep 02, 2013 at 08:35 PM]
I find in funny both of you immediately knew where I was without me saying anything. Razz Laughing
Model25FanForever   [Sep 02, 2013 at 08:54 PM]
Yeah, I can say I know my way around here pretty well and where almost any intersection is the buildings just made it more obvious Laughing
joe_347V   [Sep 02, 2013 at 09:46 PM]
Ahh, like how I guessed that you were in Brampton when you posted the pic of the AE 25 on the truss arm. Laughing
Model25FanForever   [Sep 02, 2013 at 10:16 PM]
Yea, its pretty obviouse Razz Laughing
joe_347V   [Sep 03, 2013 at 12:20 AM]
Yeah, since Main street, Brampton is the only place in Ontario that uses them. Razz
