Westy RMA With a Type III Bucket

I got two of these with the Type V. The Type V is acrylic and branded Lexalite while these two are polycarbonate and unbranded (though I suspect they're Lexalite as well). These are ever so slightly yellowed but you can only tell when you have them on a white surface.

Note that in the pic I believe the bucket is reversed 180 degrees of what it should be (house side and street side are reversed). When I lit this, the side facing the front of the light emitted less light, so I'd imagine that is the "house side". There are no markings whatsoever on the buckets to assist in that so I'm guessing these are OEM refractors which would have been pre-installed.

The Type III buckets are pretty cool. They're not incredibly efficient though. They attempt to redirect the light sideways (up/down the street) but mostly they just block light on the house and street side to obtain that asymmetrical pattern. The asymmetrical prisms are pretty sweet though!

And no, it's not as thick as the bottom may suggest. The bottom has a lip on it. The actual bucket is quite thin (like 1/8" at most) but since it's polycarbonate it's pretty strong. The acrylic ones are thicker since acrylic is weaker (that is until polycarbonate discolors; then it's a fraction of its original strength. Acrylic wins out in the long run).

Special thanks to Joe Maurath Jr for these two Type III and the Type V refractors. :-) (Plus some other goodies I'll post later.)
