Lacated on Chicopee, MA on a road that runs along the Massachusetts Turnpike right next to the entrance of one of my company's substations. There are alot of these still up in service in this city. The city of Chicopee has a Municipal electric utility.
There are some up near the Big E but no this light is not. This is right along the mass pike. My company does not serve this city but we do serve West Springfield which is where the Big E is located.
I went there a couple years ago, but don't really remember what lights were there. I remember seeing 1000w AEL 327s in a parking lot though. The lights were in threes on tall poles.
Not here either. I've seen one MV series 25, but it was in Rocky Point Park. The old park is open to the public again. By that I mean there's a side walk that goes alolng the outside of the park, not allowing you to go into the park. i liked it better when it was closed to the public because I used to sneak in there with my grandpa.
@ Mike, where those poles in a parking lot near the Big Y on the main drive heading toward the Big E. @ form109, cool to see those in mercury. I hope you are not going through a LED swap out likes whats happening up here in Mass.
I know what ones you are talking about, there still there Mike. @ form109, yep I hear you, My old hometown just replaced 3/4 of its lights with LEDs. Its to bad because they had old model 25s up to.
There's 400 watt mercury vapor versions of these in my area. I've never seen any in HPS (except on state owned highways, all their streetlights are 200 watt HPS).
Actually, they did. Before the Peace Bridge here in Buffalo and Ft. Erie, Ont. was refitted with OVF luminaires, the poles had Crouse-Hinds OV25s on one side and OVMs on the other. On the Canadian side there were Canadian Crouse-Hinds OV25s.

ours are HPS but small amounts of Mercury ones exist in other towns.
