$Fairly Good Condition Thomas and Betts Luxmaster. From a pole knockdown, I am surprised how good condition this stayed in. I didn't TAKE this light because of the incident from earlier... I would LIKE to take it but I know I could get in trouble for it... The refractor door part was broken, it snapped in half and it looks like the reflector got de-attached from the housing. The only thing I took was the photocell and lamp and gasket. Maybe the gasket on this will fit my OV-25. But the gasket was kind of thin... This was found on the side of C-470, A loop freeway around the Denver metro area, (State Highway) and C-470 has LOTS of these Luxmaster fixtures. And lots of shoeboxes. I dunno why they used shoeboxes to light the freeway. But lots of those shoeboxes have been replaced with Cobraheads (even on the old poles that USED to carry a shoebox) and lots of other lights are just upsweeps (weird upsweeps) with either a 125 or M-400 R3 on it. Those were replacements after knockdowns like this light. Keywords: American_Streetlights$

Maybe you could contact Xcel and see if they would let you have it, you never know. Wink

CDOT owns this, not Xcel energy. CDOT works on the freeways, even the interstates, even though CDOT hires the same people who use the same fixtures Xcel does. xD At least in Denver. I think Xcel maintains some of the lights on the interstates too... But CDOT owns them.. I am actually not sure.
