obviously BIGGER with BIGGER refractor (the refractor is STEEPER!) the 327 is STILL MADE.....it was an ITT 327.....the design pretty much hasn't changed much!
The AEL family fixtures.... was bought over by 2 different companies...originally an AEL, it becomes ITT...bought by them...then it went to T&B in the 80s...then finally not too long ago...it went back to AEL!
Oh ok. Though T&B didn't take over until 1992. I think it was owned by someone else between ITT and T&B... AEL 327's are EXPENSIVE! I got a quote on one and it was like $670 or something like that.
Chestnut and Dwight streets in downtown Springfield are 1K MH 327s.
@ mike, I know what poles you are talking about but they are not 327s. They are model 25s. Up by the memorial bridge in the shopping plaza used to have 327s and OV-50s but have recently been replaced with induction cobraheads.
Not sure when they stopped making 700W MV fixtures. EYE Lighting was the last to make a 700W MV lamp and they discontinued it a few years ago.
You can make a 1000W MV CWA fixture into a 700W MV by reducing the capacitor value (not sure by how much) but I wouldn't raise the capacitor value on a 700W MV to make it 1000W MV since if they actually used a legit 700W MV ballast, you'd fry the ballast. However, I was told GE CWA ballasts for 700W MV and 1000W MV are identical aside from the capacitor values, so you can flip between the two with the right value capacitor. I suppose you could do the same with a 250W MV ballast to make it 175W or 175W to make it 100W.

I don't think the Current 327's have that latch.
