I like that temporary mount you are using.

Nice American Electric nema...but the Yardblaster fixture is not Nema.

Yes the existing is not a real NEMA fixture, it is just a plain bucket light....the NEMA head is a specified fixture (excluding the bucket) which is specifically sized at 8 inches diameter lip with 2 clips (and sometimes screws) the purpose of an NEMA head is so the refractor and reflector is to make it easily interchangeable, you would be able to put an old gumball glass on that AE NEMA head (by simply removing the bucket and put a gumball) or even a tear drop or a radial wave....

NEMA doesn't really mean a "Bucket light" the NEMA head is really the top part of this whole fixture.

Thanks guys. Makes me want to get a gumball or teardrop for it.

Yeah, you can try to find one on Ebay...or even Joe from Vintage_Streetlights on yahoo groups...he may sell one.....

Let's not forget that the vertical version of the OV20, the Form 109 and early style Ovalite with adapters can fit this head as well. The GE Form 400 used screw rather than clip mounting.
